Reposting a poem from 2017 for today’s OctPoWriMo prompt – Mother May I
Elusive, like shadows in the water
Static electricity that hums just before it sparks
A vanishing point that disappears just beyond awareness
There’s an invisibility to it, this connection
A chain-reaction that builds as one after another after another
is born to women who are sisters, to women who are daughters
in a family creating its own legacy
Bonds illuminated by the blood they share
strengthened when challenged
enhanced when needed
nourished unapologetically
Deepened by years that crawl through experiences
collectively perceived as each is individually held
a gift, this alliance bequeathed by birth
a treasure. each defining my
past, present, and future
