Final words and your Mother's first, buried Beneath years of words, Images, sights, sounds,

Into her ear. Izzy whispered soft.
She whispered low. She . . .

And the stoop of her tired frame. Watch how she stands, The hands prayer-like . . .

To share a dream with you,

They look at you
As if you were something
Just to gaze at . . .

His presence,
His voice,
His gentle . . .

The lies, The deceit, The unfaithfulness, The cheating hours,
And even when He closed his eyes . . .

Of buses and cars
The passing mothers
With their wrapped . . .

Flowers bought, and chocolates
Consumed, he said he doesn't
Love you and never had; how
Bad can it get for you? Has

I'll show you a good time,
He said, and so he did
In his fashion, but it

Seed and then move on to
Some other . . .

But a recent memory
Came up in her head, the last
Time he'd called her for lunch, she
Sat stark naked on the floor
Eating with chopsticks while he
Sat opposite . . .
