The Wind In Her Grasp

She has the wind in her grasp

instead of her child's.


She has the invisibility of love wrapped up in a pink blanket 

instead of her own flesh. 


I wonder why, 

don't you? 


Aren't generations supposed to love and perceive

instead of denying

poking wounds

and sheltering the hurting?


I thought so too

seems that we are all out of a factory;

some manufactured perfectly

others defeated and destroyed completely

some mental 

yet some broken...


Maybe I am the broken one 

because I was there when my eyes grazed over the plain wind in her arms.
