THERESA'S BAGGAGE

in poetry •  4 years ago 

At 16, She experienced rape.

  • Chronic Migraine.
  • Arthritis.
  • Hypoesthesia.
  • Ulcer.
  • Hypertensive.
    Her 17th birthday came with a baby's outcry.

Fifteen years later, She died of HIV.
She might have thought of wrapping me up and leaving somewhere along the roadsides, severally.
Despite any being with a dangling shaft in between those thighs.
Probably took a whole lot of process in acclimatizing and beginning to appreciate the different kind of radiance I was to her life.
But, I know Mum wanted to stay.
