94) Small Paintings on Paper

what were you hoping for?
what were you trying to do?
these are some of the questions
she had for her mother

or her mother had for her -
one did not know the other
had the same questions -
you were tapped by the daughter

as a friend
and asked to help
but you yourself hesitated -
trapped by words before and after

you could not see starlight
lending much of a hand
or a moon or a down thing
to help them
