Offspring

They were quite special

Snuggling

Faces stroking each other

Mother cat and kitten.



Mothers have a way of knowing

                    When love is needed

Mending tender heartaches.



Revolutions in third world have a way of destabilizing mind.

Coup d'état over many decades in Ayiti

Sons and daughters willing to die

Putting their lives on the line

Bloodshed some dead.

Human hearts grieve

Mothers don't know if they'll ever encounter offspring.

Their bodies and souls stretched out in coffins.
