Mother's Hands
  
You baked for me the world

smelling of bread

of childhood

still warm

from words and emotions

Your hands full of memories

stopped time for me

run out from my poems

I will hide you in dreams


lull me lull

I

in you

without words

with you

the whole world

is laughing

in memory

always together

lulls

my childhood

without you

there is no us

lull me lull

I

in you

without words

with you

the whole world

is laughing

in memory

always together

lulls

my childhood

without you

there is no us


The Eclipse

Mom

where are you

I’m afraid to be alone

with the shadow

come back, turn on the light

as before

I’ll cuddle you with a scarf

by the lamp

I’ll read

my poems

silence only moth in the jar

fights for life


Cakes

with afternoon tea I come back

to the past

when you were here

we baked apples

with crumble

dog in the kitchen

fawned over you

the smell of baked cabbage

teased everyone

nicely

smelt this time


The Little Mermaid

leaning over me

you read me fairy

sang

lulled to sleep

you saw before me

future fulfilled

today I can return

and ask

why I’m still

your little mermaid
