no more idyllic daughter

Inspired by Lorine Niedecker's My life by Water.

no more idyllic daughter

my life
   in words
      see

girl’s
   first failure
      or fulfillment

on her own
   alone
      thriving

mother
   smothering
      bitter

no more
   idyllic daughter
      Woman

walks
   away
      child

hood
   forgiven
      future

simple
   serene
      shiny

her own
   and wonderful
      life
