13 Years In Mind

If the dead can feel

Feel your bouncing foetus

If the dead can carry

Carry your crawling twins

If the dead can hear

Hear your child speaking

If the dead can see

See your little chap

If the dead can touch

Hold your moving kids

If the dead can call

Call your teenager's nokia

If the dead can sing

Sing for your diligent son

If the dead can talk

Instruct your waiting youth

Alas, where is the Dead

You are all with us, MUMMY

As your works live on

Sleep well-beloved
