Mother
O Mother, all the games we play,
all the endless masks we wear,
day after day.
I have made living a meditation,
death a celebration,
and sleep, the gateway.
Dreams upon dreams,
we travel without judgment.
In some I am the loved,
some the lover,
another, despairing grief a river,
other, a thriving field of daisies.
Undocumented livestreams,
like fallen old film negatives.
O Mother, all the games we play.
