Yesterday a woman
who twenty years ago was wet with her mother’s tears and her grandmother’s blood,
who, hidden, listened to the sound of machete against her brothers’ flesh –
Yesterday this woman,
Reached to embrace me when she learned I was widowed
Then touched so gently the shoulder of my fatherless child.
