'We generously offer cups of soured breast milk and brew of yew tree needles, assuming they’ll bear everything.'
In defence of parental signifiers

Contaminated words like ‘father’, ‘mother’, ‘God’
take on the sins of others: not their fault, but their cross to carry.
We generously offer cups of soured breast milk and brew
of yew tree needles, assuming they’ll bear everything.
