sorrowing mother—
a bright aurora of grief
stains the northern sky
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
What can blunt the grief
of mothers losing their sons
to ravenous graves?
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
Grappling with her grief,
her world spins out of control—
perhaps she is drunk.
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
mother of the dead
lethargic in her sorrow
morning bread unbaked

Their watching faces
keeping every stranger safe—
Holy Family.

how a mother’s love
makes even autumn sunlight
split the hidden seed
