The True Mother

“The True Mother”

What part of a heart
in another could one trust
when betrayal comes
like a silver bullet, words and deeds

Virulent apathy spreads 
Betrayal’s destruction

And steadfastly search out,
Nestling between ridge and bluff
Amidst the folds of a foreign 
Land,

Crumbled stone walls
With an exposed slate roof in

He enjoys doing things for other people

Just because it’s the right thing to do, and

Everyone around him.

The different coloured scarves, sweaters and hair 
During the mass meetings, 
The solemnity...

when sleep grapples for a hold,

whispering notes,
holding keys 

towards you 
you're approachable
