you look just like your mother

             i guess i do carry her tenderness well

you both have the same eyes

             cause we are both exhausted

and the hands

             we share the same wilting fingers

but that rage your mother doesn’t wear that anger

             you’re right
             this rage is the one thing
             i get from my father
