a
sigh
that
shrouds
the
sky
in
layers
layers,
layers
of
gloom
until
a piece of sky
is
wrenched from its
starry
roots
and
falls so heavy
on
a shaky earth
that
it quakes..
a
sigh
wrenched
from
the
darkest depths
of
a heart
turned
so cold
in
the increasing
tightness
of
the
grasp
of
the hand
of
death
that
it screams
Oxygen
a
sigh
that
shivers
and
weeps
before
it is
finally
grasped
by
cold, damp hands
from
a dying heart
to
shroud
the
sky
in
a pall
of
pain
that
falls
so
heavy
on
the earth
that
it screams
and
quakes..
Today, the sky
has been torn
from above my head
and the earth
beneath my feet
shivers and shakes..
I miss you, Mama
