The ghost of my mother
has a face of old porcelain.
Sometimes she loved me too,
like past lovers and fathers-
epidurals of life.
But I am her warden,
I have turned her into a jailhouse Plath
and I can only ever feel apologetic.
Her love comes in frantic gashes,
lashes to the cheek
and a smile to make a mako shiver.
She told me that someday I would be cool and sad
like her and she says it so bitterly
but it is all that I want to be:
sterilized.
