Twenty Years Ago

Twenty years ago

A mother who lost her child

Tried to kill herself.

Now this Mothers’ Day

Death lurking in the doorway,

Eager for her mom.

Blueberry Sunday

Soothes memories long ago

When pain took control.

Two dead fetuses,

Lost daughters – are they with us?

Hearts were ripped open.
