Lesbian Fiction ForumThought I'd re-post the prose I wrote last year.
So, called your Mama yet?
Called your Mama yet?
The woman that birthed you?
Had labor for 48hrs in a
snow storm/thunder storm/heat wave/insert-appropriate-cataclysm
while stuck in rush hour traffic?
Twice a year, maybe three,
Mama expects to hear from you.
Mother's Day, her birthday,
and maybe at Christmas.
Called your Mama yet?
The one that picked you out
from all the others
on the orphanage list?
The one that waited
for the court to decide
who was your mama,
who was family.
Called your Mama yet?
the one that lived down the street
the one that you went to
with questions and problems
Called your Mama yet?
Both of them?
The woman that birthed you
and the woman that married her?
Mama - she who patched your booboo
she who said your clothes didn't match
who said your hair was perfect
and that pimple didn't show.
