To Hear The Cries
The day I concluded family
you were in the bar
starting the party
while she was ending
the celebration of zero despair
zero ignorance in the week
the cries for milk grew
as the milk that once held it all together
spilled out of the thread leaving it tangled
and in shreds
like me
The day the two wheels left
only the cries after every fall
were heard as
my body and heart were bruised
and in pieces
but as always
someone had to
be deaf
The day my guy went off
there was darkness
illuminating the room
that will hold
my next baby
although my spirits
that still echo in there
will haunt her next
I just wish there was
a chapter in my old textbook
called how
to hear the cries
