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
