TIME
Sit beside the sucker of youth Believe tales of beauty Remind your self of bone China Delicateness . Growing up is losing good blood. Be born in her womb Give up attachment Marry , assume the love of children. Sunken face protruding jaws Skeleton in a nightie One breast left-what can cancer her More than my silence? Endless questions---we ask each other. Collect memories-like anything you would Collect--mother has moved through life like a comet- a tail illusionary --I watch. She fixes up with all those dead souls Speaking to spirits and I now believe, They answer to her roll call where She fixes up a site, in between A favorite granduncle and a brother lost in childhood. The future I have to think of A flight into the tomorrows My energetic son, my jelly fish daughter Relish the present, The expanse I hold in my palm Like a jet travelling into poesy, And poetic space.
