One Father, Another - Parenthetical Girls

Tend your figure religiously

Stillborn sisters- you buried three

Survived by stumbling divinity

I came to you both accidentally

Haunted wombs and barren seeds

Yet through the term you carried me

Conjugally conceived he had prayed you’d bleed

And your second child came with a pair of teeth

And round his ankles you were tethered me

You must have known he’d leave eventually

Because everything you love leaves

(everything you love leaves)
