Religion: Verse II

Kinsey Peterson

We are all daughters 

of Eve

And I know 

Because the other day I was 

Hanging a wet rag to dry

In the gentle heat of the sun

Chasing after it 

as it danced in the wind

And landed in my birdbath

Where the ripples stilled

I saw my face

And i saw in me my mother

And her rage

And her tiredness

That she learned from her mother

Who had learned from her mother before

And before

And before 

And before

Until who other 

than the first woman

Eve

    Once upon a time I thought that all my parents passed to me were their genes. Apart from their behaviours and attitudes I modelled from and subsequently modified or rejected, there’s something more … old patterns…. Insightful write about (for me) unresolved issues.
