Poem from Lean House
The Daughter Speaks
I know a few things that mother
is a crushed flower
how desire breathes hollow as a bowl
does not conjure love
that the heart is an animal
curled in a cave
I know some things ruin
is a road
a mother can
be a road
in the winter picture
cold is cold
a little girl stands shoeless
my nameless mourner.
