Chicken Wire Mother
Mother,
you don't have arms to hold

I need you, but I can't feel you
I see you, but you can't see me

sometimes, when I'm afraid
I curl up and I hide away

I dig in my nails, and it hurts, it hurts
but you could make it go away,
Mother

where are you?
where are you,
when I need you most,
Mother?

I don't know my mother.
