ESOL class
Today just two women Hoping – in vain – they will leave At 12 – fluent as me. The rain lashing the window Fills the silence as I watch One list things she’d like to… The other attempt to write Tuesday. Married at 12 When her first child moved In the waters of her womb She thought she’d swallowed A frog from the well. The woman who brought me into the world Struggles to remember who she is. © Anne-Marie Glasheen 1995-2008 |
