Kit Kelen #1197 - put some light on the subject

1197
put some light on the subject


a one woman welcome
and mixed message too

who’s leaving all these lights on everywhere?

I see her face at the door
the real mum
kiss, doubt, scold, commend, advise

our garden full of her cuttings
runs over the paths like her seasons here

who’s boiling enough water for a tribe?

how then are there years beyond?
none of this makes sense

who’s leaving all these half drunk
cups of cold tea everywhere?

of course she pops up
has the last word
tries to talk us out of going

close your eyes
she’s with us now

and she’s saying
don’t stumble around in the dark
put some light on the subject
