MOTHER
Let us get this straight.
My mother does not hate you.
She's just like that.
She forgets people's names.
She is curt sometimes.
She hits
she beats
she bleeds strangers like ticks
� when she's premenstrual.
She's like that.
It's not about you.
It's about that overnight I spent
after that fight
� no, that's not right.
It's not you she hates
not you she despises.
She has nothing to say about you
not since I told her you were dead.
