    Mummy

    Tears sting my eyes
    as upon my cheeks they fall
    Wrenching and ripping
    is my heart
    as i hear your spirit call
    Pounding bare
    fast on concrete
    Peeling and scraping
    the skin of my feet
    I enter the woods
    branches scratch at my face
    The red blood runs
    but i keep up the pace
    Clothes are all torn
    battered and bloody
    I found you the same
    tore up and muddy
    You were not breathing
    when i knelt at your side
    I cried out your name
    I thought you had died
    You coughed up some blood
    when i pressed on your tummy
    then you looked at me
    and smiled and said,
    ‘You made it mummy’

    Real or not, good descriptions of drama and urgency. A mothers panic for her child, well done

    You've got me wondering, if this is an actual account or not, either way, nice work! You could feel the panic! ~10

    An excellent work created from either a reality/surreal state or even a combination of the two. Only the poet knows for sure. Spellbinding!

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
