Sample poem:
BRAIDED
I watch you braid your mother's hair
Your hands working like hers
In the slow rhythm of the work
And I see how my thoughts of her
Are braided together the way our hands were
Or the way our scent was braided together
With the gardenias at night when
No thoughts were needed
Now I am alone with the flowers
Startlingly white in this darkness
As if they too were missing her
