“She’s younger than my parents”
Creases have not kissed her eyes
Grey has not touched her scalp
She’s more critical than my teachers
Yet wiser
Eyeing us with a raised eyebrow
Everytime our actions threaten to offend.
She’s more fearful than pain
Waking us in the early hours
Sprinkling regret like seeds.
