"bakeshop" poems
Then I woke up,
From the sweet dream I've led.
Mom's heart came to a stop.
We went to a nearby bakeshop,
Telling jokes while buying bread.
Then I woke up.
Never knew you needed a checkup.
And now you went ahead.
Mom's heart came to a stop.
She complained about her makeup
And I laughed about it instead
Then I woke up.
I thought you'd stay until we grew up.
I still have so many things left unsaid.
Mom's heart came to a stop.
I could feel my tears drop
Seeing you there on the hospital bed.
Then I woke up,
Mom's heart came to a stop.

I'm no main character
In this story we all live in
I'm just that person A
So don't mind me Im just hanging
If this was a fairy tale
I'm that baker in a bakeshop you just passed by
Or I'm that young child playing in the streets
I don't mind
I have no gun to take part
I have no information to share
I'm just an ordinary character
Making the story's complexion

this poem is just about a bakeshop.
no allegories
no symbolisms
no idioms
no metaphors.
mother kneads the dough.
she does it so well.
pounding the white clay
with such masterful effort
her hands do not tire.
neither tires her arms.
neither her thighs tremble.
neither her smile
it charms.
mother had been standing there
untiringly since dawn.
and yet she does not stop.
it has been raining incessantly
ever since she woke up
and yet she does not stop.
not even a single costumer appeared
not a single knock on the door
and yet she does not stop.
daughter asked her out already
daughter asked her to close the shop
daughter always says
and with a lot of sense
watching mother work
simply is not worth
the miniscule sells
yet still she does not stop.
daughter asks mother
far too much.
she asks why mother is always smiling
she asks why mother works hard as such
she asks why mother why it was always raining
daughter asks mother
why no one is waiting at the counter?
daughter then followed
where is brother and father?
and finally daughter asks
why no one, for their shop, would bother?
to which mother just replied
"let us simply pray for better weather"
