I speak my children's names.....
As to hold them close to me...
the cap on my head,
I wear in remembrance of them
in remembrance of you.
my hands through my hair
and my hands upon my face
in remembrance of you...
in remembrance of them......
Them, whom I have loved.....
and her who is gone.
The three never reconciled....
Nor those who came before me,
Never reconciled.
My hands upon your hips,
never reconciled...
You
A city surrendered at my feet,
surrendered at my hands.....
given freely.
freely given.
Never reconciled.....
