mother’s day
when you were born
my days
were suddenly full
of trees and apples
of hope
and the machinations of terror
I conceived of space
my world became
the size of a seed
pointed and round
no intruders
a harvest of possibility
only sorrow that I could imagine
my world became
a growing diamond
in your eyes
I conceived of love
I became home
. . . . . . .
