inheritance
i am a woman with pain built in.
lighting a candle each night & kneeling before Someone &
waiting &
waiting &
waiting.
removing a bloodied bandage & assessing the damage &
cleaning the wound &
cleaning the wound &
cleaning the wound.
washing down lamictal with stale chai tea &
lacing up my shoes &
lacing up my shoes &
lacing up my shoes.
warming unseasoned lentil soup & crying into the bowl––
i am a woman with pain built in,
ripping myself apart &
stitching the remnants back together
again &
again &
again.
