Heart Weight
This burden carries
Flashes of dark insight
Fault accepted
For a daughters
Violent attempt to die
With a uniformed guard
Strapped in a mechanical bed
Dried bloody gauze
Everywhere
Staining where my love
Wasn't enough
Better now she's whole
Has moved on; smiles
I find blame still
As mothers do
