Bridal Veil

waterfall up
a slick and rocky path
I’m scared to take
to bring the babies
so high
but I know
I should let you


is it better to let go
I could almost follow
or grab you 
back
that nag that says
bad mother
pulls at my ear


I'm in a state: high
anxiety
believing / disbelieving
that you'll show again
from that last bend
unbroken
grass over granite


shots taken
everyone but me
that day I film
the water crashing making
rainbows
high as my arms
can reach

  2. Motherhood is a balancing act that outstrips any high wire trapeze artist's. Working without a net, a full house, and the costume is a bit ragged.
