Mother’s Day on The Nightside

The Mothering Blackness by Maya Angelou

She came home running

      back to the mothering blackness   

      deep in the smothering blackness

white tears icicle gold plains of her face   

      She came home running

She came down creeping

      here to the black arms waiting

      now to the warm heart waiting

rime of alien dreams befrosts her rich brown face   

      She came down creeping 

She came home blameless

      black yet as Hagar’s daughter

      tall as was Sheba’s daughter

threats of northern winds die on the desert’s face   

      She came home blameless

All of us here at KUVO want to wish Happy Mother’s Day to you!

In appreciation for all you do, and that includes FAMILY that does double duty for the Moms in heaven.
