Poems by Mua

Words

Tears,Tears after all

I lean over her I know,

I know how u feel

I lie, it's true:

She's bleeding. She's

Readying herself for

Dying. Or birth. Shes

A child, her own daughter

The mother shes lost

She's better. Eased

I say her name. I want

To cry. I want to speak

What tears cannot

Emptied, her eyes

Reach for mine
