Celebrating Mother's
Day May 9, 2010
Mother’s Day
a woman cries
for her stillborn child
Mother’s Day
the daughter takes
her mother’s place
Mother’s Day
not for women
who hate kids
Mother’s Day
In VItro babies
paraded in strollers
Mother’s Day
one dozen certified
sperm-free eggs
Mother’s Day
the Easter bunny
paints my eggs red
Mother’s Day
first the baby
then the stretch marks
Mother’s Day
your husband
doesn’t wear the pants suit
Mother’s Day
you better not forget
or else…
mom
you don’t have to be married
to be one
3:40 a.m.
insomnia listening
to mom’s coughing
