100 years from now
I hope my words grace the tongues
of men and women
yearning to speak their truth
________
100 years from now
with tea and fresh flowers
or on a subway, clutching tight
the words, steadying their day
________
100 years from now
on yellowed paper and bent pages
tucked away between their favorites
words, adored and well read
________
100 years from now
scribbled in the margins
is a name, next to theirs
unspoken wishes
________
100 years from now
I hope they quote me to their lovers
in secret letters, from beneath balconies
and at Cathedral aisles end
________

A hundred years from now where ever I am I will say that was my daughter.
