MORE RESPONSES FROM POETS ON RENEE GOOD

I’m Not Mad At You (For Good) By Jackie Henrion 1/7/26


My mother has been dead

Without shroud from grace

Or other holy ghosts

Her epitaph reads captive

Involuntary abjection

Of genetics and entrainment

Creative attempts not

Withstanding, not worth standing

Intellectual bandwidth stunted

By so many years and fears

Stuck in the garden’s enclosure

She could only offer coupling

Too young the sadness of need

Unwanted implantation exchanged

Like opportunity

Without shield

Yet I stand with gratitude

For mud, pulchritude, and effluent

Fed blossom and flight

And ultimately—the Good fight
