I wrote this some time ago, can't remember exactly when but not recently...


Gathering together crumbs,

the misses and hits of experience,

the sleepless nights,

unanswered questions,

deafening prayers and cries,

oft-broken heart.


This bit of vegemite wiped

from a tiny face turned upward,

the shoelace tied,

the cupcakes baked,

post-structuralist papers

and laundry to wash


as I read feminism and Pamela Allen,

quest for myself

but answering to "Mum",

single / it's complicated / not interested

actually I am busy in the wings of someone else's life


disoriented now that

it's time to be.
