A crooked finger
Curled my air behind my ear
Over and over until
The sooth lulled me to peace
A lilting operatic voice hummed
In fragrant melody
Making me long
To climb inside the song

The consumate rebel
She wore pants against the tide
Because it was cold
She wasn't feeling well
Dresses chilling to the bone
Agreeing to go home
But inevitably helping form
A changing policy for us all

Saran wrap dried in the dish tray
Reuseable several times
Paper bags for bookcovers
And handmade clothes
Adorned my wardrobe
A single, working mother
Always with us
Inspirational to the core

We had ducks in the city
'Harvy', 'Brandy' and 'Singapore Sling'
Quacking and swimming
In our kiddie pool in the yard
We never went with nothing
The house renovated
From a shack
Into a palace of mirrors
Tile floors she laid herself

This is my mother
But you'll never know her well
For she is hidden in our memories
And private of her soul
A sparkling, glittering gem
Of value beyond belief
She lives the life of gypsies
A lady you can't ignore

She is young beneath her years
E-Baying around the globe
Hitting garage sales,
Antique shops and traveling
But the ocean is her home
Friends wished she could be their mother
But I share her with only one
A sister who's just as awesome

Dear Clang,

You just wrote of my mother as well...

except for the names of the ducks, of course.

Thank you so much, and please give your mother our regards on this, and every day!
