Dec 2014
bottle of tears
Empty bottles her tears of hunger can't fill
My body is deaf to her cries
Together we plead with my body to release it's sweet milk
But my offerings of fenugreek, oatmeal, and barely are ignored
The only sacrifice that will satisfy this heartless gatekeeper is an unachievable calm
My tears cannot fill her bottles either
