AT MY MOTHERS GRAVE

How old have I grown sometimes I wonder
Tulips break the earth dry bones lie under
Dirt soaked with rain and the stones are so silent
The smile of memory remains defiant

What seeds are these the wind drops here
Mixing sweet laughter with the salt of a tear
Time's blood is washed in a dream of becoming
But the distance has closed between walking and running

My Mother made a home of hope and clean sheets
Where birthday cakes sat in a puddle of ice cream
Spaghetti sauce coaxed crazy notions from the air
The vacuum cleaner roared as the cat ran scared

Moons filled midnights with love's own nectar
Hot water bottles splashed until someone felt better
The hours growing up preserved the fact of falling down
Born naked into this world and lowered into the ground

In a hand-colored photograph my Mom is missing her two front teeth
A grin as wide at three as the big blue sea
Imagining her life gives blood to my memory
A universe ruled by tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee

Gravestones run up a hill into the horizon
A setting sun exploding where a new moon is rising
A dark winged thrush beating air into infinity
Silence blooms on the limb of a leafless tree

My Mother's name engraved on the gray headstone
Above two dates that signify a coming and a going
He who measures life is doomed to measure death
A flea a prophet and a fairy queen imbibe one breath
