Growing Pains | Aureation

"Reheated coffee a symptom of hope disappointed. disappointed is the opposite 
 of my mother. my mother is a silent siren. 
 smoke detector in a field of fires. 
 my father is the field we lay upon. 
 a root vegetable is a metaphor: potato is community. 
 potato is sustenance. 
 potato is sexy. 
 on some days, when I put in the effort, 
 the potato is me."
