finished being super-girl
running marathons
flying man child on my back
through catastrophes
.
finished being hyper
drained of energy
never safe, never whole,
empty, dark, alone.
.
finished being “go-to-girl”
“organizing force”
feed ‘m, clothe ‘m, bed ‘m, then
line ‘m up to bathe.
.
finished being super-girl
running man-child’s needs!
man-up! grow up! fellow man!
come with love, engage!

How to feed the soul
Feed Your family
Comfort Food
by Jeanne Poland
My daughter arrived with husband behind,
Post surgery, weary, washed out;
I’d made them a soup with chicken and vegs:
Some broth that gave bones back their clout.
Some wine spiced it sweet, with onions, anise,
Carrots, rosemary, and chicken breasts sliced;
Potatoes, fresh parsley, lemon, zucchini,
Comfort delivered all spiced, sliced and diced!
