Before Somethin In Me Breaks

All of my mothers have gone...

I'm sure their spirits live on

somewhere

but it feels like not here sometimes,  ya see...

ALL

of my mothers

FEEL gone...even

the ones

that I didn't particularly care for and

right now...

right now...

I really would like

to... maybe...

have at least one'a dem bodies

with fleshy arms and

warm soft bosoms

to pull me in as only

full women with fleshy arms and

warm soft bosoms can-

kiss my forehead and

tell me

no matter HOW it feels in THIS moment Baby

it's gon BE alright...

cuz you come from ME... and

MY strong mama and

HER strong mama and

HER strong mama and

HER strong mama...

so

before it gets too late

before somethin in me breaks...

I'ma wrap my own fleshy arms

around my own full *****

embracin my own self... and

know that I know that I know that

the spirits of all my mothers

even the ones that I didn't particularly care for

are ridin wit me

and I'ma hafta make up my mind

to be

comforted

with that
