mother poem

the little white prayers
what was it the engines said
soft as the bed in the earth
like eagles on up high
up from the meadows rich with corn
music i heard with you was more than music
high-born race
she said
sing again the song you sung
see the tentative
as a white candle
sleep, gray brother of death
beautiful, tragical faces
