Blue Mother
She fills the willow pitcher
The blue one crazed inside
She shrinks two quarts light
To quench her waking mind
Seeping oblivious to trickling tales
She's used to blotting out every mess
Nothing that can't be swept under foot
On old floors settled upon ghostly guests
She stirs love inside more sweetly
Offereing to a loner who'd sit a bit
As the years before she'd been the one
Helping ones cope with unmendable rifts
Shuffling slowly on rotting boards
She's left alone, again, to every end
Wiping leaks from the middle leaf
She breaks revisiting a place of safety
