Pregnancy

My mother"s daughter was a clever girl, but she spoke too much.
felt far too brave, or too beautiful, or too broken on days. and then she didn't speak, didn't speak to anyone at all..

when her tongue gets heavy,
she doesn't make the effort and its nobody's fault, but heavy tongues speak cruel words and she isn't about that life anymore..

She's rarely silent, but when she is
she means it strongly like anger, like faith, like a statement.

..don't force words out of her, when she's listening to her thoughts, she's probably pushing,her mind is on a bed with legs spread wide open.. giving birth to some poems.

don't interrupt labor.
