A Mother Feeds

May 11, 2008 — by Jacqueline

My creativity
comes in
a direct flow
from my mother.

Her blood feeds
my body with
oxygen to breathe
and her words,
like breadth for my ears.

An umbilical cord once
attached us
before I was
strong enough
to be my own.

Now our
thoughts and
hearts
align
because I am borrowed
from her clay.

It seems that we are
always attached to
the other end of
our life support.

Sometimes the truth is
Not what you want it to be.
Is it ever what you expected?
No, probably not.
Are you okay with that?
Are we meant to create truth or
Are we meant to find it?
