A bandaged broken heart heaps more agony upon emotions and hurt feelings
carelessly tossed away in a wastebasket of ignorance and ill willed

I can’t even call it a room
Old mattress, no bed lamp, and fluffy pillows
Just a cabinet full of didactic books on the top shell
Some enjoyable comic books and dull novels on the middle

The Love of Mothers

Nerve slicing mercury inhabiting breast milk, slashing 
the suckling babe, the one who will not walk until she is four

she was running with nowhere to hide,
        Mental illness took its toll,
