Mother May I, poem by Paul Fericano (May Poetry Series)
A brilliant piece of memory and family
MOTHER MAY I
by Paul Fericano
Mother, may I
sit beside you
on the green mohair couch
late at night
like a wakeful dreamer
and watch old movies
on the black and white
television set
with bent rabbit ears
and rest awhile
near your soft and gentle heart
until I fall asleep?
Yes, you may
Mother, may I
light yourmenthol cigarettes
with the brushed chrome
cigarette lighter
that father gave you
on your first wedding anniversary
and marvel as the smoke rings
float like halos
just above your head?
Yes, you may
Mother, may I
tell the woeful stories
you tried to tell
of love gone bad
that left you alone
to live this stubborn life?
No, you may not
but you may
take three steps backward
and finish this poem
