Frozen Breath Poem by Diana van den Berg

Frozen Breath



Her crown of grey
weighing heavily,
with bowed head
and glazed eyes,
she sat
alone in her room
and nobody knew
not even the grey-day rain
outside her window.
Slowly her head shook
from side to side
in shock and disbelief, not understanding
her daughter’s long-lived
hate.
