My mother said to me
"look at the moon Juli"

An erie illumination
so I replied to her "Mother,
it is the sun and not the moon."

My mother said,

"Have you ever seen a purple sun?"
I smiled and said "No, I havn't"

Then I knew
words are words
that wasn't the point...

Smiling with this...
my mother use to say,
"if I say the sky is green, it's green..."

and even though she's gone
and I hear myself repeat that story,
I also find myself
nodding my head...
