Mother
Location
Mother always beats the sun up
Never has once the sun won
the race in three hundred and sixty five days.
Alarm wakens when the outside is still darkened and unlit
Still silent enough to hear small creatures
Performance through the dry-brick walls.
Mother leaped out of bed, exhausted, from the day
before, but welcomes it with a smile
Out the the door; turfs are still rich
From the rose. No soul nor shadow
is seen, only darkness is present to welcome
her, good-morning with a chilling sneeze.
Arriving to clock in, Not has
a minutes gone by, but already Slaving
away in a compacted dripping iron cave to
prepare thousands of sarnies to satisfy
Incoming strangers emptiness later.
The warmth does not
Rise in couple of hours, the night is
Still young; Galaxies are still visible
and her day has just begun.
