Poems For Ma
Love & Mercy Radio
7 episodes
5 days ago
My mother is ageing. Her cognitive capacities are declining, but her wisdom and life experience are at their peak. This is a podcast that tries to tap into the latter, whilst being aware of the former. Every few days, I send Ma a poem I think she might like with some questions I have about the poem which I'm interested in talking about with her. I read the poem aloud and then we talk about it, enjoying each other's company.

7. A Rose by Alice Notley

A ROSE

Did I dream of a flower
last night or the night
before? That I saw as
if the answer to
the question I'd asked, which
I can't remember. But
in my dream, this
morning, I decided it
was a rose, and it
rematerialized, or rather,
I held up a hologram
of it & showed it to the
boys - Hurry,
I can't hold it here
much longer, I said,
Is it the right one?
They said, Yes.
