Motherhood
when stacked
they cling to each other
like lovers
toe to heel, heel to toe.
yet, like a sick kid
my shoe cabinet
keeps retching out
shoes and likelihoods
of everything I could have been
shoes my kids have outgrown
shoes that warp around their feet
none of those belong to me.

Motherhood when stacked they cling to each other like lovers toe to heel, heel to toe. yet, like a sick kid my shoe cabinet keeps retching out shoes and likelihoods of everything I could have been shoes my kids have outgrown shoes that warp around their feet none of those belong to me.

This poem has tugged at me, nudged me to write it down.

'Motherhood'
