“The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.”
Dr. Maya Angelou
For now, two poems for consideration:
Gwendolyn Brooks “The Mother”
Lauren K. Alleyne “Gretel: Unmothering” – “There is a live thing inside me,/ I know—I carry its heart./ Forgive me, little bun,/ but I am no oven.”
