Mama and the Goodbye Man
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
THE DOOR ALMOST FELL DOWN
MY mama went with the
goodbye man ALL HER CHILDREN
slumbered
close a hand
he wouldn't
think of
leaving
her
behind
we awakened
and found
that mama
had gone
a smile was
all she
left behind
she had gone ...
she went with
the goodbye
man
