One Never Knows ...

There was time for us all
when we didn't know mother
not brother
nor lover
neither any other.
It's hard to imagine
being that blind
and so utterly love blank
short
very short for some
maybe not ...
But there's never been a time
when we didn't know ourselves
never will be I suppose, but
of course,
one never knows.
A time without mother ...
what was that like?
Sure,
I know what it was about, but
I can't really remember -
who can?
I know one day
I'll find out.
I once said,
heaven
- one of the important ones -
is a mother's voice
and hell
- yes, that one too -
is merely its memory.
Like my scrapbook of heavens,
I'll collect that hell one day
and add it to the others
... like other children
with other mothers.
Perhaps,
I think
it will be bearable
having known my Mom's
particular kind of heaven.
It's what she'd want
... I think.
There are worse kinds of hell
I suppose, but
one never knows.
One never knows.
