GIRL MOTHER

eyes and ears and mouth and nose

Bug Out Bag

Addiction is another mouth to feed

a whining child

gnawing at your heels

tugging at the hem of your skirt

We carry snacks now

Nibs and bumps of things to keep her busy

drug and disease and child free not me

Single mom, I come complete with baggage

I can hold it on the hip, or on my back

I can hold it in the blood
