Kind words do kinds of things…
drink my mother said
It will calm your nerves
as though she knew
a glass of wine
even a shot
stoned in her heart
bled through her bible
what you didn’t lose
God doesn’t punish
eat my mother said
it will fill you up
as though she knew
a bowl of rice
even a slice
born from her mouth
stolen from her hands
what you didn’t kill
God doesn’t want
