Pamela A Babusci: Text

chrysanthemum moon
i peel off another layer
of sorrow
that nobody
will notice
not a single star
out of place
in the Milky Way
the garden gate
left ajar all night


bringing a pot of coffee
& cigarettes
to my mother’s grave
we have never spoken
so honestly
losing herself
within these stark white walls
disappearing
unnoticed
a shell of a woman


giving back
the ring
taking back
my heart
april rain
