About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

Coffee

when too lazy to run
the coffee maker,
my sons saunter over
to the cafe round the corner.


tomorrow, a boy
not very much older
begins working at my home
sweeping / mopping the floors.


when he finishes,
shall I offer him
a cappucino
to assuage my guilt ?
