Afternoon conversation

Mother,
do you know a spider sometimes eats its own web / eating its own home walls alone
I know            when you are hungry you are ready to eat anything around you /
Loneliness / a name / a home.

And, do you know a fish can feel pain too like us? I would say like a daughter / & the fear in gills. It knows how it feels to have a hook in the eye / a foreign thing in the eye / to be in the net /  to be in the wrong hands.

And, butterflies do not have teeth / maybe God doesn't want them to chew and taste grief / they have tongues to swallow

Mother
sometimes
I wish I were a butterfly without teeth / who wouldn't have to chew any grief / or bitter taste /  in her whole life span.
