New Mommy
The Mother Horse Eyes Narrative Part 01 18th Post Posted 24 April 2016 at 21:38:12 EDT Link to original

When I was little, they took mommy away and put me with a new mommy in a smelly dark house.

They said she was a real person, but I knew she wasn't.

They had made her.

Her face was made from pieces of animal.


 * pig cheeks


 * hairy goat jaw


 * old horse eyes

They sewed her together badly, and the seams were crusty.

I hated her.

Real mommy called me from underground.

I opened the attic window at sundown and let the spring breeze flow in.

I heard her song floating in on the cool air, soft singing from the grave.
