10 years ago your world was so small
you climbed the trees and slept under them
that was the first i knew of your forlorn inner journey
to a place I couldn't go
I told you then you were my favorite
as a mother is not supposed to do
my love was frightened
desperate for you to know I would save you
we connected
you started to walk enticing tightropes
strung out across the wide world
I couldn't watch as you ventured
before I knew it you became entangled
in an implacable sapping snarl up
talk to me I said, helplessly
but what use was a mother's love
when the trap was already sprung?
to extricate yourself
you silently gave in
After, I saw you in the branches
I reached but you had gone ahead of me
Oh Kali the words are so emotive
the connection - I understand completely - for me the connection is necessary heartbreaking and comforting all at the same time
