Finished

cartoon by Jeanne of Jeanne for Jeanne

!

finished being super-girl

running marathons

flying man child on my back

through catastrophes

.

finished being hyper

drained of energy

never safe, never whole,

empty, dark, alone.

.

finished being “go-to-girl”

“organizing force”

feed ‘m, clothe ‘m, bed ‘m, then

line  ‘m up to bathe.

.

finished being super-girl

running man-child’s needs!

man-up! grow up! fellow man!

come with love, engage!
