I wrote this when my mom was in the hospital.....

are you my mama
by buggie


Are you my mama?

With your skin as soft as silk

Changing colors

From ivory

To olive

To ivory again.

Your almond eyes

With black lashes

That when you blink

It looks like a raven folding its wings close to its sides.

Are you my mama?

When I walk in the room

You look me in the eyes

And in your wisper of a voice

You manage to struggle out

What day is it?

Baby girl, where am i?

Are you my mama?

Who could predict fashion trends

like meteorologists predict the weather

Who told me she went to beauty school

whenever she was going to give me a makeover

dont worry i went to beauty school

she would say

really?

yes baby girl, ill show you my diploma someday.

And that was that.

are you my mama?

Who knew the perfect ways to wake up

combing her fingers through my hair

playing music on the radio

hot chocolate with extra marshmallows.

And everything in between.

Are you my mama?

Where do all those tubes go?

What about the red one?

Is it filled with love?

Did you have too much in you?

If they hadn't taken it out

Would your heart have

Popped?

Are you my mama?

Since when was your scent

Tylenol

Anteseptic

And your nurse's perfume?

What happened to

Chamomile

Baby powder

And sunshine worked for me.

It smelled like home.

Are you my mama?

Who promised she would tuck me in every night

But know has me wondering

Will you ever come home?

Are you my mama?

Answer my question.

Are you?
