“I Will Cause Breath To Enter Bones”



“I Will Cause Breath To Enter Bones” 
                                                                             Ezekiel

I’ve little memory
of mother hitting me
with painful ecstasy.
Numb in mind and body
I break glass
                     when she’s gone--
imagine breaking bones
moving us
                  to scream
                                  moan.
Sensing cold marrow
                                   frees
her to breeze
me to breathe.
