Anna Couani #171 mother box

about the box

that I had the

carved box given

to them in gratitude

but now mine

always mine

deeply carved

and fascinating with

its big waves and

fishermen

poised with long poles

surrounded by

leaves or trees

always with me

forever appealing

for me at the end

of my bed

and now I have the

smaller

mother box

as well really

hers but an

imitation of

the original

deeply carved box

bought long after

mine

longed for

hard to decode the

origin the source

the genesis
