    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.
