my mother's mother only knew her sometimes. mama, I have lioness songs for you & the years you spent waiting for someone's warm arms to wrap around you. & I know it's not over yet, all those years of surviving sleeping heavy in your bones. you & your shaking hands that held me tight. you & your enduring heart still waiting for a familiar voice to call you home. ---
