38. DRINK DEEP

Little mother

You work so hard for your child

In a world that thinks it sees all of you

But doesn't really see you.

I saw you

In that world

Surrounded by vultures

Then the next day

I saw you standing beneath the waterfall

With your hands clasped

And something beautiful in your eyes

Something they could not see

In that other place.

For mother and child both

The waterfall

Is sacred Milk
