MOTHERHOOD
Victor P. Gendrano
(For Jasmine and Lana)
Mother's day
my daughter brings her daughter
as a peace offering
plastic pool
my granddaughter frolics
in her birthday suit
eighteenth birthday
she dances with strangers
my daughter's daughter
if I feel such a pain
how about her father
a cocoon rides
the autumn wind
her empty room
early spring
my daughter's daughter now
a new mother
summertime
my granddaughter's daughter
pulls my all-gray hair
Published in my book, Rustle of bamboo leaves
