mom poem

there by the window in the old house
while i stood listening, discreetly dumb
i have known the silence of the stars and of the sea
beside a stricken field
perhaps
see the tentative
rocked in the cradle of the deep
let a joy keep you
a pen of steel
hang no wreath
the child who threw away leaf after leaf
the little white prayers
i stand in the cold gray weather
there was a strangeness on your lips
