i will stop (never stop mourning)

monday, april 15th, 2019 :: waxing moon  how our hands hold dream how we are making dreams when we  cook love, for our beloved, with our hands  when we cook yams, and beets, and greens  and how this gives us our hands back to us  how we fall in love with experience  how we handle, tangle, and disturb even the outsides  of what we want  i am in so much pain  i am in so much physical pain today  and i am breathing with it and then pausing to weep  the weeping comes out of my body sometimes sometimes the weeping does not stop  sometimes i wonder how much longer i will be grieving my mothers grief  how can i make separate her grief from mine? when really,  it is a line of beckoning hands showing me their scars  and how can i say no?  how can i say no to my own kin?  i can .  i can say no. because i love myself, because i care for myself and my life and my dreams  mo
