A Child's call of "Mother, Mother."
9/9/14
Imitation poem of Thomas McCarty

A night of dancing and pleasures is interrupted abruptly
Dancers slow more; less tapping feet avoid the rush of a gust
That moves in a sweep across the limestone pavement
Swinging children faster in the arms of old uncles and young aunts
Where freckled hands will spatter to eat their kabobs
The smoked ones with little meat - as their small stomachs grumble ferociously
And little ones scramble across to be first in line
When one little hat dashes across the celebration and giddy uncles find that
One child who didn't tap his feet or clamp the hands of older relatives
And older men and families hear welling in the itching windpipe of the child:
"Mother, Mother."
