mother poem

listen
we break the glass whose sacred wine
have you not heard
leave the lovely words unsaid
i saw you hunched and shivering on the stones
she heard the children playing in the sun
wrap the earth in cloudy weather
how like the stars are these white, nameless faces
with joy and wonder
with lips blood red and heart of stone
some one complained to the master
two rows of cabbages
the earth keeps some vibration going
