mary,

you kept me for as long as nature would let you,

then alone, in tears, they cut me from your torso

just like the two before

they were with fathers'

along with the first.

coco puffs were had in celebration

zach the lego maniac is not who i am

covered in your slime

separated and washed in a blanket,

now you can have me back,

i'll feed

i love you

though the blonde is now faded

i'm your little boy all the same,

just with depth in my voice

and that like my fathers' on chin and cheeks

you tell me i have such a nice face.

wrong i've only done to you and him

you him and i hug and wipe eyes.

things have changed,

distances are farther

talks grow longer

with no shame i'll shout,

i love her

pointing at you

my lovely mother.
