Her image fades. . .
But her love lingers on;
Just as burning embers
Have the power to bring warmth
...
Nothing to inspire;
Expectancy
With no fruit,
A blank page
...
I gasped
When I read.
A part of me
Couldn’t grasp it at all.
...
Your mama must be so proud
Of you saying such things
Most wouldn’t utter in private,
Much less say out loud.
...
