Mother mood (1981)

Mother Mood (1981, Brussels)

In one week
You will be there
Beside me
Because you love me
I wait, hoping
That with the passage of time
Your delay will be a presence
And then, again absence
A month later
You will be there
The promise of a mother
For my birthday
The month has passed
No one beside me
A telegram accepted
An apology repeated
For my holidays
Spent without you
For your silences
Kept for me

For my anticipation
And your neglect
For your kindness
I promise you
