Raspberry

All of the times

 

that you wished she was here

 

- tiny seeds of memory

 

who grew into longing -


are wrapped up

 

and swaddled tightly

 

in your cradle board.

 

 

Don’t believe the hype.

 

The real holy blood

 

that gave you life

 

came from your Mother.

 

<———————————->

 

Todos los tiempos

 

que deseabas que ella estuviera aquí

 

- diminutas semillas de memoria

 

que creció en anhelo -

 

 

están bien envueltos

 

en tu tablero de cuna.

 

 

No creas el bombo -

 

la verdadera sangre santa

 

que te dio la vida

 

vino de tu Madre.

She came to us on a lazy Mother’s Day afternoon,
Carrying the story of our family between her brow.
   The passages of the births and deaths of our Ancestors
Etched in lines on her hands and face.
