"Mother"
I wrote a longing poem
for you
when the day is up
and the night began to accost my heart
with a lonely rain
You feel like sending a smile
through dreams
from our hut booth on the edge of town
knit the threads of love
crochet the prayers on Him
prosecutor of my step
track my future
I keep your eyes
the shade and the peace
from here
a place far from you
mother
