    Mother’s Day

    1.

    I kick, stumble, stomp,
    Scrape across cobblestones
    Worn out from years of trudging.
    I bend my knee and a shadow
    Moves away, out of reach.
    I pound; I break the shadow’s bones.

    It changes like a fallen face
    Moving across wet cobblestones.
    Blood smears the worn-down shade.
    The shadow lies whispering,
    An old voice waiting.

    I smell its breath, a musty odor,
    Hear it calling, must go to the grave
    Before the red smear dries,
    Must listen to murmuring bones
    That once sang under the sun.

    I kneel with the shadow
    Under me and dig closer to bone,
    Plant Golden Showers,
    For the keen memory
    That keeps kicking, keeps stumbling
    Over cobblestones, wet with clots of you.

    I kneel and pray to air.
    Your bones keep walking
    Up and down the cobblestones,
    Following as I pursue
    A shadow beneath the Golden Showers.

    2.

    When I return
    The white lungs of roses
    Will breathe in mossy shadows,
    Recline under arms
    Of sleepy maple trees.

    Petals will glide
    In watery dreams
    Across spaces.
    Leaves will fall to their knees
    In the ebony eyes of night.

    A breath of earth
    Will inhale in slow rhythm,
    An old chimera will fade
    As my fingers follow your light,
    And brush the arching stars.

    I will wet the shadow’s mouth
    And listen to the silence.
    Mist will rise in starlight,
    And blades of grass will lift
    The floor of darkness.

    My hands will mend
    A bridge between our shadows,
    Between the green morning
    And endless stars of nighttime.
    When I return…
