O Mothers Give Up Forever

O mothers give up forever 
to hold horses in corrals.
When we stood the sun lowered
into a neighboring hamlet
quivering.

Can't fight the tears 
or the truth or lies

When standing towers stand higher
i, too, exist no longer; my heart beating
my general mouth forcing lips apart.

And i want you to know who i am --
as god from a lofty shoulder sees where
we are going.

Where there's nothing to believe 
and life as fantasy is nothing more
than mysteries -- your name.

While we are thinking about tomorrow.
