against the grain of sand

The view of the world I present
through my writing,
an adjusted layered
a belusted view of the void,
the waves unruled
the manspreading of kings
mansplaining to --deaf ears
Fair daughter face my fears
fair daughter hear your words
your words through my ears
my fears as I interpret you
as I suspect your intentions
your insinuations play on my strings
untuned harmonies --
the dissonance of us
I wash my plate unstained a fierce force of fresh water hits my face the trickle down my leg a flashback of other times of an outside world without howlings of a world free of wolves
I remember you
your smell of tin
of the motherhood awaiting
I remember you
firming up
I remember you changing
