But for my own mother I was not there . . .

and at the gates of the world, between

holy ground

and ground of almost all its holiness gone, I loiter

in stupid fantasies I can live that day again.

Why did you come so late?

Why will you go too early?

I know there are regrets

we can never be rid of,

that fade but never leave:

permanent remorse. Knowing this, I know also

I am to draw from that surplus stored up

of tenderness that was hers by right,

which possibly no one ever gave her,

and give it away, freely.
