It was today .......22March09

And it was today that I suddenly began to look like my mother

It was a certain lifelessness about the eyes

But this nose and these lips and those half-lit eyes that compel you

And I feel a part of something bigger,

Some female genealogy;

Someone just whispered the secret of inheritance into my ear

And it was nothing to do with money and everything to do with feeling what she felt

And her mother before her, and hers before that:

This malaise this caged-up-ness this

Resignation

Where do we begin to become undone?
