Do you know how many women
in your family history
were broken, reset, and broken again?
How much do you really know about them beyond
their name,
the number of children they brought forth,
and their secret recipes
You can name their husband’s accomplishments with ease
but see their wives and daughters as nothing more
than vessels with varying levels of fullness.
Don’t you realize that the sea is full of their tears,
left over from being poured out?
