Day 3: sins of the father; Day 4: the dykes she attracts

sins of the father

the first valentine's day
after having their baby
the only valentine's day
her husband gave her
no card
no gift
no flower
no indication
she was his valentine

this past year
through the separation
her son gave her
no mother's day card
no gift
no flower
no indication
she'd been an amazing mother
..................................................................................

the dykes she attracts

the dykes
she attracts
are more
controlling
than
the men
she's been with

she goes home
locks her door
hugs herself
exhales
so relieved
she didn't get lodged
under another foot
