Your Just DessertsA Poem by Debbie PaliagasI was very angry with someone and had to either hit her or write a poem. I chose the latter.
You,
Nullipara, condescend to step right in and rule the rest who weren't blessed with flawlessness like yours. Primal donna, know-it-all, you step with careless certainty and crush (with flame-red, dyed-to-match pumps) insects, imperfect mothers, forsaken dreams. And so, I feel a surge of mirth escape from wiser lips as I turn my back to you, unshattered by your fall. © 2014 Debbie Paliagas |
