THE MOTHER OF NATIONS

& after a bite from the fruit, 

the finger of blame was pointed at her, 

our archbishop told us:

she'd have to discharge her own blood 

through a painful pain that no one could grasp—

a lovely anguish that no one would care about. 

she'd give birth to her own gender—

they'd share from her punishment, 

she'd give birth to another gender—

the ones that'd maltreat her and blame her again 

for the bite from the fruit, 

for the periodic discharged blood, 

for the post-partum pain, 

for everything, everything, every time. 

she'd stay strong… she'd have to… 

she is a woman—the mother of nations.
