Motherism

Jamie-May Minjie

Jun 10, 2024

i put myself in my own womb,

gestated her with my own book of mannerism


Cocooned in a prism,

i wondered whether she could only be put in one translation


At the heart of woods,

the ID photos taken are trashed in a later day


reading my own journals,

i assumed someone inside has truly passed


Having given her a chance to be her own child,

being a child is a temporary identification


In the woods, i chase,

hiding and seeking, over lights and shadows


until we came out, wondering

which one was to be mislaid?
