Linking The Distaff Side

Surely, the lifeline of
femininity and shared experience
should serve to bridge gaps in
emotional need sundered by
critical misunderstandings
between mother and daughter.
But no, not necessarily does
simmering resentment and
wildly imaginative pique
surrender to rational practicality
of a truce rather than settle
into the corrosive destruction
of unappeasable ire. On the
other hand, skip a generation
and the granddaughter
grandmother link binds the
chain of emotional succession.
