(Wendy Cabell, piece revisited January 20, 2025, but originally from same date (January 20), 2022. Feast day of Our Lady of the Miracle (connected with the Miraculous Medal, and the conversion of Alphonse Ratisbonne), Our Lady of the Tables (Montpellier, France), and of Saint Eustochia of Calafato, Saint Clement of Lyon ,Saint Sebastian, Saint Maria Cristina of the Immaculata, and Blessed Ursula Haider. In 2025 this date is also Theophany/last day of Christmas season (Orthodox, old calendar). Image from here.)
Mother-Speak
(for Our Lady of the Miracle's feast day, and in memory of my Mother Jackie on the day of her passing, 2025)
that one forgets the pain arms cradling life all aftermath and ache in slanted hue
each day after busy seeking such pastel -- now that it is you know just where you're you're to
*From prompt: Freewrite as inspired by etymology/concept of birth and related words (I was drawn to Old Welsh beryt "to flow"). From Lisa Freedman's BreatheReadWrite, January 20, 2022. Piece is the same as was originally written back in 2022, except for the original last word being "from", and the revised last word now being "to".
