Poems of Healing
You Called to Ask Why it is Essential
for me to Keep the House
Please forgive me my head
full of windows, doorknobs,
I’m in love with the lemons on the tree
When I said, this place you are watching
on TV, in Paris, I have been there
My children were amazed
I told them:
I was a human being
even before I was your mother
Forgive me my head full of
saffron, garlic, and parsley
and every good thing passing through this house.
