I mother
my mother
through winter’s fog…
her hands, now the tiny ones,
light as falling snow
Sarah Hina, USA (sarahhina@bsky.social)
I am down
on my knees
half fallen
half rising
sorry for something
I lost or
am losing
I don’t know
the prayer
all my angels
are birds

tree leaves vibrate
like reeds of breezy woodwinds
… underneath, we listen
