Genovaite Ambraziejus Cizauskas
Mom of all us five
And gentle mother of Love
Meeting in heaven.
Mary, Mother of Love

Days of wine and song
Together touching the sky
Stretch before you now.
Underneath the smiles
Lies a heart blown by weather.
She thought you a friend.
With my heart breaking,
You visit me this evening
Tenderly again.
Peter, Paul and Mary
Tomorrow morning
The hug’s scent will dissipate:
Freedom once again.
When your attacker
Finds you despite your blocking,
Fear crackles your skin.

What should have been art
Becomes the stuff of nightmares:
Our narcissism.
They reached out to her:
Lost friends who had turned away.
Blessings abounding.
Your little sister
Poured the words of pain to you
Hoping you would care.
The Easter lily thrown away in the backyard, only to spring to life as my mother begins her journey of passing. Falls Church, Virginia. Monday, 23 June 2014.
What was thrown away
Has burst forth with brilliant life
To give joy and hope.
