motherly love

my mother
would turn quickly on my
ex-girlfriends
or wives.
one day she'd be knitting them
a scarf
for Christmas,
putting pictures together
for them
in an album,
or baking them a pie,
and the next day,
after
i told her what was really 
going on,
she'd start cursing,
and sharpening
knives.
