Life's
Progression
gazing
at long cornrows
mother envisions
elaborate designs
tiny
beads
show
colors of the rainbow
rain
pouring down
trudging through muddy fields
in tall rows of corn
swatting
mosquitoes
tired
weary hands
showing
signs of aging
she massages the tender knots
reflecting on years gone by
the
rocker creaks softly
darkness
slowly sets in
