Lilac bars

Gratitudes and esteems Had a habit of coalescing They met in our kitchen You felt scared I should have detected The broken balances irreversibles went unnoticed My monolayer help Was far too thin and needed stretching Into something useful Open fields, aligned sight, the best seats Slurped into a black hole That wasn’t black But more transparent Your remarkable gift That gave

And gave everyone blessings More industrious than Lilac bars of bower birds dashing To provide flowers for Mates Oh, reliable, complete mother No-one else had this gift
