Motherlicker

Mother I know The weeping was for effect You can’t cry for anyone But you Can’t cry Selflessly? No I wish it wouldn’t spill so freely Into my cold coffee Bitter beyond Sugars delightful enchantment Bad taste Oh lord It spills from your mouth Morals straight from the alter Send up a little message of hope Jesus can lay his hands upon her He cured that leper, restored to his prime Flicked the switch for the blind man The dead little girl dead no more Wouldn’t we all prefer her path to run straight? Pun intended, for humours sake Are you angry, or merely scared? Your own You detest Your heart Can’t accept
