Road trip: My Mother Her Mother

When I was a child, about 5; my parents and I had a home in a coastal city.

But fate had it that my Father worked a little more than 3 hours inland.

Deciding to pack me up along with his suitcase, once a week and traverse

to the small town of Ladysmith, was an adventure.

The amazing thing was; I would leave my Mother and arrive at her Mother.

I would leave her Mother and arrive at my Mother.

With my Dad.

A journey of trust.


My Mother Her Mother


The trees disappear

they reappear

i see the light pole

i don’t

here’s a cloud

there’s a cloud

a dam

some cows

a corn field


i’m singing along


my trip there

i cannot wait

i know

i will

see her

she will be

and i will learn

she will do

and i will try

she will grow

and

i will take a leaf


my return

i cannot wait

i know

i will

see her

she will be

and i will learn

she will do

and i will try

she will grow

and

i will take a leaf
