The Blood & The Bones

I have a lot of questions

Mostly, at this stage of my life, I want to ask

Who takes care of the motherless daughter?

The one who takes care of everyone else..

When the test results come back

When she gets the house or the ring or the call

When she feels lost

When the day is good

Or the night is hard 

Who is waiting for her 

Whose shoulder leans in to offer itself

Who becomes the mountain to the rock?

the blood

& the bones
