sat by the stair
one day
for most of her life
waiting
to be
lifted up
mama sat
by the stare
wonday
waiting
to be liftedup
mom, uh, sat
by the ssss tears oneday
waiting
waiting
waiting
to be
up
lifted
mamasat,
like a thermostat,
by the steers
wunday
waiting to get turned up,
tuned up...
mama
fell down,
feeled down,
the stairs
one day
and found
she couldn't get up
mama
lay down
at the bottom of the stairs,
a long long way down,
at the very bottom
of the stairs,
in the basement
on the cold cement floor
and screamed in pain
at her broken bones,
broken image,
cracked mirror
she threw up
her guard
watched
her control
roll away
out of reach
and findally
she landed
square
in the center
of God
thank you was the whisper
that blew all around
and landed....
everywhere....
