i let the bridge burn,
but she lit the match.
flames swalled the past,
smoke carried her absence,
her fire could not hold me--
only scar.
i walk forward,
my own spark unbroken.
--b.l.g.
Written in the aftermath of relapse, Mother Needle is a poetry collection that confronts the reality of loving a parent lost to addiction.
With raw imagery and brutal honesty, these poems explore abandonment, grief, and the moments that linger long after a childhood ends.
Mother Needle is for readers who grew up too fast, learned love in fragments, and are still learning how to let go.
