My Mother

My mother is like

Biting into a lemon with the skin on,

On a good day she's two

She can control the sky's tears

So that it doesn't rain on my parade

Or the thunder doesn't keep me awake

During the darkness

The woman can not run

So I walked while she chased me

Out of her womb

My mother,

My tree with the curvy trunk

After digesting a lemon

I climb and nestle into her limbs
