for the mother’s who lost their children and never found them , 2025found branch, wood, plaster, plaster gauze, beaded glas trim, cut glass, hematite, geodes, the mineral world teaching us a humility undone from human time, the grief settling in for a long run, the sound of women screaming in a rubble bound wilderness of use-to-be’s, grace, the mercy of recognizing that there is no separation, you only have what you give, 64 gene keys, blue for how we are the ocean and the single drop if it all at the same time, wail why don’t you, heat, love, the burden and bounty of the vagina, freedom, being seen against the unseeing, rubber glove molds, royal blue chainette, the effort of it all, holiness and doubt, the blood of your womb and no child to show for it, if a child asks you to play, stop what you are doing and play with them, for the mothers, the primordial mother, for the chest of hope that keeps filling itself with breath, foam, magic, light and a revenge-less reality.72 1/2 x 36 x 40 1/2 inches
