Every morning I wear her face
across my heart
during puja
I pass incense
back to her
and make wishes
There are days my head
on her belly
is home enough
and there are days
I have to train my head
to close around
her time-clock
and withstand the fallout
from her autumn
I hope some day
I will be able
to pickup her pieces
and put myself together
like her
like the woman
who can make the flawed
look so beautiful.

Even in every adversary there will be a time where the immense strength a mother has just comes out to show you that, you can still survive, you can still make it to the end.....coz you are hers.
