his toddler was driving him nuts
swearing and dark thoughts
sleep deprived
anxious and gullible

white noise from the appliances 
like the loud heartbeat inside the womb 
rocking the sea 

facilitated by the darkness 
nobody comes to hear my cries 
an i lie there with my pain all alone screaming 
nobody takes away my pain 

it shatters the crystal tourmaline 
of night in the flickering 
candle light licking up the bed 

clutching my heart i reach for a blanket 
that wraps me like the crib 
that holds me in its song as i howl 
for a mother long since dead
