missing you
 
~ for mum

The tendrils of your smile
I use to cloak myself
In a blackness
That remembers everything.

I watch you swinging from flowered vines
As you sing with the spirits
Frangipanis in your hair
Gardenia at your feet
You are so young
I hardly recognize you

You look up at me
For the briefest of moments
Staring into my soul
at the moment of birth
(i forget whose -
mine
or
yours
but they were both painful)

And still you offer me the sky

I am lost without you
And I know you know it.
