For a mother of children that I love...
If I Could Be



If I could be your foot
what distant sands I might have traveled
what floors I would have walked
cradling babies in the moonlight
free and shoeless

If I could be your hand
would I be able to trace
the outline of the stars
or reach out to touch the pain

If I could be your breast
could I know the giving of life
would I become the center

If I could be your lips
would I come to speak your truth
would I feel your breath passing
would I lose your softness

If I could be your heart
could I make the leap
across the relentless canyon
