a shameful home meal
with me and your sisters
we’re talking about
sex and heritage
and our inheritance
what we’re owed
-
tell me again
what are we owed?

they give me the look
like a flaming cow skull
has trampled their kitchen
ate your cutlery
but I never meant to steal
your food or your good graces

and then
we left or I left you
to make way for
what I called my own home
but it’s without
her honey
