She left me

Folder: 
Family

Too many people to count

All built up in one mind

Slowly each one emerges

Taking their turn at the world



One’s a saint

One’s a sinner

One is God

One is nothing



They each have their way

Not one is the same

Each glowing with passion

Overflowing with cleverness



One’s a mother

One’s a daughter

One is a wife

One is something



Their used to be just one--

But she’s forever lost

Her memory lingers in my mind

Like that of a long lost mother

To an abandoned child.
