MOTHER’S EDGE

by Claire Scott

So not PC to want to toss your child out the window smother her with pillows drown her in the bathtub but she screams & screams despite your best rendition of Hush Little Baby despite hours of rocking pacing cruising the block at 3 am nerves standing up hair on fire nightgown covered in spit & snot heaps of dirty diapers on the floor, the couch, the chairs the place is starting to stink please god just a few minutes without her cries then I promise I will be good as I eye a pillow an open window please
