ne doce me

Did not the body of your son break
so that our bodies would not?
Did not the spirit of your son live
so that ours would not die?
I have no third person;
I am not a Trinity;
I cannot keep my mother wholly within
me when she is gone.
Neither can I tear off these eyes and see
what you have taken away.
You, my Father, are not the same
to me as my mother.
