(PART 1) Dear mom,


 Part 1 of a 6 part poem written to my mom using different

body parts as a guide to weave each poem together.

This one depicts her eyes & mouth.

 

 

A deep dive into the ocean

gives me the motion

that pain lies deep within,

But the potion whispers 

saying to look closer

at the deep blue ocean

that twinkles in the night

reminding me that daylight

will soon come again.
