Marilene Evans Poet Verse

A Fragment of My Family

I found it so difficult to write a poem
about my biological mother                 
                          I finally
                            wrote “Oh, Mama”.

It is a sad poem about daughter/mother
relationship, like a crumpled picture
or a torn picture separating me,
being a fragmented piece of my family.

        Will I get an answer why she
        treated me so differently?

                          No answer then.
                            Never will be.
