Mother,

by Brett Axel - Not entered

Tethered to a bed in a home
With a bag to collect your urine
Left unchecked and overflowing
On dingy, grey-white tiles
Behind closed curtains,

Your decrepit fingers squeezing
A disconnected call button,
Your tear ducts spent,
Your rage consumed, then

I could love you

Reason for writing:

    None given
