Mystical, maddingly crazy
other times...
The bond between child and mother
stronger than most any other...
So many things still to discover
A lifetime of things to go wrong...
It appears, at least to me
That child-bearers who have passed from this world...
I'm failing at bonding
with a child...
“Nanay, can you see me?”
You gave me a gentle nod...
Sometimes bitter disappointment
keeps you from remembering...
Jessica always
interrupts me...
Will the future
be fair to you...
Mothers and daughters,
sisters and aunts...
Maybe we're too young to remember
when our friendship started...
I no longer
end my calls...
