Can we help this Neighborhood mom
That mom,
she sounds like
she’s having a hard time.
What can I do to help?
What can any of us do?
She doesn’t want it.
Snails, crawfish, fungus,
the bird her cat caught.
distractions.
She’ll help them,
not herself.
Is it just listening?
Is that all she needs?
Asking to go on a walk.
What do you give up?
What parasite is
draining, demanding,
drawing away
your energy now?
How do we help?
Can we?
Please be well.
