mother poem

gloom
sitting in his rocker waiting for your tea
so lost
that strange companion came on shuffling feet
a sky that has never known sun, moon or stars
risen from the dead
skies they were ashen and sober
sweet with fern and rose
had he and i but met
a mist was driving down
the saddest of the year
the fragrance came
