she
once dreamed of
casting
a fishing line
into
a deep sea
she even dreamed of
she even dreamed of
a
bucket of silver fish
she
can remember how
her
grandmother said
fish
meant pregnancy
yet
after many dreams
she
wonders what
happened
to hers?

ReplyDeleteThis moved me. So much longing in these lines.
