Mothers

Contributor: Adreyo Sen


Mothers were intended
to illustrate
with strange awesomeness
the power of worry
to contort
the human experience
into strange and terrifying
forms.

But mothers proved very good
at comforting away worries too,
from their little ones.
Other little ones too.

A case perhaps
of intent over design?
Or perhaps,
intelligent design?
