Mother

welcome this heart, congenitally, sickeningly loathed not even clothed, leave her threshold. brought into the world, a radial embrace cradled in the rain, slapped across the face. scapegoat of the mother, never far from the tree saddled in pain, crawling formlessly. carry this apple, take a crisp bite sour and cold, not even ripe. now welcome this heart, bitter and mindless, feed on the fright frigid as marble , scorched as a star feed him dirt, never far, never far arachnid fangs descend, venomous reign eat your own infant, drown in the rain; then do it again, again, and again.
