To Those Who See a Mystery

Liana Tilton '19

Yes, this is my mother

Her golden locks contrast my ebony

Yes, this is my mother

She sees with the ocean and I see with the soil

Yes, this is my mother

Her arrival, surrounded by the warm smells of cornbread

differs from mine surrounded by voices incomprehensible to her

Yes, this is my mother

When the sight of us causes you twice the take I ask you

Gold, black, blue, brown, why do colors of the rainbow alert you to pause?

Yes, this is my mother

She was not my creator, but she is my creator

Yes, this is my mother

Together we are the unbroken image of a mother and child

Yes, this is my mother

And she loves me very much
