Your homecoming reminds you of questions
She raised at every milestone
Which kept her writing and waiting – –
Licking fingertips before turning the pages
Of her gifted diary, and reading
Between the sculpted lines, you discover
That on every tenth page, your name appears
Like a friendly, familiar ghost
While, humming, she paints you with fine strokes
In black and white, and sombre gray:
You see yourself as she once saw you
And you stare
At some stranger’s silent silhouette,
Listening to the music of her anklets
On a distant windy shore
Photographed blowing wet kisses thirty years ago.
