For My Mother

 

Even the soft rustle of

trees can drown out

this cosmic pulse
Ever so quietly,

it beats against bone
It coos like a lonely bird
blends in with the fabric of
my body

 

And it is like this,

that I watch you don your makeup
your precise regiment of
beauty

 

Your eyes which look like mine
are shallow pools of pain
empty specks
holes, you intend to fill
with each stroke of mascara

 

I endure the sympathy everyday
of watching you try
hoping I can salvage you

Racing against the inevitable

 

As it stands,

i can feel you everywhere
the connection is fierce
miles melt away
and I can tell you the worst of
me and your bombshell heart will
still sync to mine

as if you already knew
what I am

 

as if it is you
