Her Mother
She was not sure of her role in office
or at home; she worked for her living –
money was as important for her as
giving company to a lonely daughter.
Her man loved her and then left –
had found something lacking in her –
but she did not search for someone
who would find ‘something’ in her.
And the daughter! in parting drama
she played the role of a stranger girl.
The boy was young and handsome
as daughter introduced him to her,
but then she was not sure of her role
in another marriage, home, or affair.
