All Too Often


 
She loves it when it’s angry.
Settles into its big lap
like other people take a nap.

Lets it rage so nobody
will notice she can’t turn
the pages in her life.

The red hot virulence
of maddened strife
and strangled tears

is mother’s milk to her.
And is to me, when
I am she, which I can be.
