Another's Mother

Yesterday

Have been recalling winter fun on our hill in Calgary, and skating in Three Hills! Think I'll buy a new pair of skates!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another’s mother

                       shuffled off

her mortal coil

       last evening

Another’s mother

                    left her girls

crying out for

       one more day

as she laced up her

             shiny new skates and

                                 glided off to the other side

                                                                of the pond
             the whoosh of blades on ice
                                 whispering farewell

Picture taken by Another herself,
today

Her worn heart

       pouring out love to the last

                           is now her own again

But Another

         is left behind

crying, “oh mom!!!!!!!”

          is left standing

on the other bank of the pond,

          is left scanning 

the sky for a sign,

          is left

Tonight,

we shiver on the shore

with Another

Tonight,

we are all Another
