mother daughter poem

afraid no more, i say
candles toppling sideways in tomato cans
do you think, my boy, when i put my arms around you
in their ragged regimentals
braided and woven
i saw god. do you doubt it?
their beautiful hair
how like the stars are these white, nameless faces
were it not for that singular smell
and breaketh bread no more
