Mother

Girl With Her Back To Me

Brian K. Noe · December 8, 2020 ·

We were touring
the little Crackerjack Palace
Where I was raised

We were talking with my mother
Who has been dead for 26 years

She was carved out of wood for the occasion
She held a little baby of blue

You two seemed to know each other well
Talking like old friends and rivals
Have you ever met?

It was just like you
understood
Each Other

Looks like you’ve got a little hostage there

Don’t let Erwin stray too far

I have
Always been
Faithful
to
You

It’s 4 AM
You are snoring gently
You are warm like my mother was

I feel
Safe
