Nutrients of Life

Nurturing is what I do best
maternal instincts
somehow survived
mother-less-ness
just tell me which
nutrient you need
today
I'll be the sugar in your carbs
your mono-sacch-a-rine
sweetness in your veins
drip by sticky drip
flowing from
honey britches
I'll be your protein
sustaining life with my
warm milky breasts
I can water you with
tears of love & gratitude
hoping to reach your roots
that they may drink me in
but I can't nurture
substantiate
supply
if not given the chance
& nurturing is a two way street
my dear fair-weather love
if I am left aimlessly
wandering
with aching mouth
hunger in my belly
how do you expect me to
turn around and
satitate your every need?
