The soul aches
numbs the brain
Pictures float away of women
crying, laughing, ironing sheets
thinking about jobs and ***
finding work and
cooking cheap spaghetti
Playing with malnourished children
recovering from trauma, turmoil
turbulence, schizophrenia
from wombing life and giving
garlands with open hands
