Dirty shoes
A rainy morning
unlike most
I waited in
the building
and then
she walked in
she had
dirty shoes
and a dirty bag
looking
quite heavy
I almost forgot,
she had a baby
more or less
less than
a few months.
her
dirty heavy bag
laid on the floor
she cleaned
the surface
her child
would lay on
the child lay
on its
clean blanket
changed into its clean diapers
not to mention its clean socks
topping it off
with a
clean hoody
the child
starts to cry,
It's mood
seemingly wry
the mother
checks her
dirty bag
she pulls out
some clean milk
it was in
that moment
I felt content
judgement with no comment
this child was safe
for in her
mother's eyes
was a clean love.
