In My Mother’s House
by Candace Turner

In my mother’s house
Big city lights
Big city noises
Scream and fade

In my mother’s house
Today dances with yesterday
Forgotten dreams
Collide and dissolve

In my mother’s house
Ghosts serenade in
Lyrical silence
Sad and soft

In my mother’s house
I breathe in memory
I breathe out pain
Hollow and sharp

In my mother’s house
                        Where I am safe
