mother

*



filing out of the police truck
knee deep in the mother fuck
hands tremble
that surely resemble
those last breaths of life
crowds all loud they come around
to view the litter upon the ground
the city never sleeps
but i am sure it weeps
like a heart-broken mother
red lights and meat truck
knee deep in the construct
of busted promises
and broken dreams

a mother never sleeps

i wrote "mother" after i saw a greiving mother on the evening news as she learned of her son's murder. it's not so much the murder that is tragic ( although it is quite tragic ) but what crime and murder leaves behind.

you're welcome, and thank you :)

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
