... You are in my mind, Mama,
with grape jelly witches
And Orion nights,
Singing hymns as if
you mean never to be fooled,
The humming beneath your breath
An invocation you've left me to learn,
Nourishing as water,
Solid as woodsmoke...
She would be 101 today. She died in October 1989

My mom has been gone since 1992. She was 87. Her mind sharp as a tack. I miss her still. Every day.
She was a special woman and she loved me more than anyone else on earth to this day. I'm pretty sure.
May we see them again someday as I believe we will.
Blessings.
