Loneliness of Motherhood

I.

The apple 

didn’t fall far 

from the tree,

and once upon a time 

Eve took 

the first bite,

so I guess 

it’s all

our fault—

forever.

II.

The hand 

that rocks the cradle 

rocks the world,

but is anyone

holding 

her other hand?

You know—

the one with the

rock on it.
