My Son by Christopher A. Lane
Back to Poetry
 


let me cry
over you
weeping against the world
against the white, death-veiled earth
that yawns
hungry and impatient
to devour you
let me wail like an old woman
rending clothes and heart
into the darkness, reaching
to touch your face
and bring you back
to the trembling wakefulness
of my embrace
