MOTHER MAY ~BY AGNES WONG
Sunny streaks rouse resting eyes to Mother’s Day
Showy songbird flutters over window to serenade
Sunny streaks rouse resting eyes to Mother’s Day
Showy songbird flutters over window to serenade
She dresses in a new,
trendy short dress,
Even if it causes her younger self distress.
Two flights down at fourth
And tenth, I enter the warped
Wooden doors, losing
Sammy “Too Smart” curses the nine ball
That rattles in the corner pocket but
Doesn’t fall.
I step into the favourite part of my day, coffee time! Black, no sugar, wake-me-up sips swirling into my tired mind
In secret, hearts beat as one,
Longing to be together, under the sun.
Will you catch my tears when they fall?
Capture a trapped memory, leaking
She tended to his wounds with gentle care,
A love so strong, yet forbidden to share.
The moon notices a sunflower every day,
watching only the sun.
