10. Poem: Missing Parts

MISSING PARTS

My son, my son,
He has gone out into the world,
and I ponder now over my newly realized state:
I shall never be whole again.

Nor is any mother.
A part of her shall always be somewhere else--
as the wind which moans through the trees,
or the light which shines in the distance,
or the music which echoes on the ears of time.

By Nina (around 1975)
