The inside of your Mother's day card
Show me what you'd write inside of a card for your mom (whether she be here or not). No rules on it being happy, just make it honest-- I know not everyone has a great relationship/memories with their mother. Happy Mother's Day to the moms out there. That is all.
Mother’s Day
The family tree branches ferns
And further connect all
Genealogically turns
Womb to navel to cord to caul
Looking up that tree
And its forked reiterations
Next in line, I see
My genetic causation
For you are the step before
I sprouted therefrom
It is you I adore
Engineered my out-come
Mother's Day celebrates
A calendar recursive
When homunculi gestate
Until newborns abdicate
Rising to the heavens
Our family tree spread out so
Because you birthed again
Delightedly in afterglow
