Emily is a poet. This is her poetry. She hopes you enjoy it.

momming (verb)

Giving everything you have -

and then giving more.

Knowing without words,

working to will yourself again

into the depth of reason,

stopping a bathtub,

drowning a fear and

pushing a dream,

stepping stones and skipping time,

growing and changing,

charting the wrong course and

course correcting.

Abysmal mornings,

and sunshine aching to arch across your face.

and a breaking -

a heart has tentacles and

will vine any space to find you.
