Whole

Whole

by Julia (Overthetop1)

The baby boy that went missing

left a gap in you - huge like the sun

now another him has left a hole

and you clutch at your scattered selves -

You think you are just pieces, fractured,

and I know you wonder if your mind

is loose, careering in your empty house

But to me you are utterly complete

complex, but whole, real

always the total mother.
