My Mother My Weapon

My Mother My Weapon

I use my mother's tips
to protect my lips
from snakes
who promise me 
heaven and earth
and yet hurt me daily
causing tears
with nights restless
now I am at peace
since I use 
my Mother's words
to secure
my body
thanks to my Mother
whose sentences are kept
she is 
My Mother My Weapon.
