The Mother
My mother has gone quiet – a silence not of lack, or fear or anger, but of a great attention – a leaning into.
She has left the language of populations, consequence, variety – even the clamor
of need, she forgets. She smiles at the back and forth of talk; the art of give and take.
She hears what’s underneath. Child, she whispers, the sun splashes into the sea; when the clouds shift, their touch against the sky rustles like silk touching thigh.
She is leaving this world. Her listening is a kind of touch,
the way you’d feel along a wall – intent, imagining. She fills and is filled – is glass, pitcher, water flowing. She stands at the center of endless concentric circles, at the navel of the world, from which infinite lines emerge –
a hand through water, making ripples . . .
