She drinks to soothe the pain

that lived in her mother’s heart.

As much as we might hope,

we are not so different from our mothers.

Her pain

is my pain,

and my pain

is my daughter’s.

To break the chain of trauma

heals a constellation of wounds.

They do not speak about the tragedies that have come and gone from their four walls.

As if silence is more palatable

then the words that need to be spit.

In silence, there is trauma,

legacy passed down from seed to embryo to the first beat of a heart.

To break the chain of anger

you need not bear it

on the back

your mother built for you.
