Song of My Mother Towards the back of a closet‚ in the corner where the dust tends to linger and the light shies away‚ hangs a brown suede leather jacket right next to a pair of old jeans. A jacket that--in its newer days‚ when the zipper still worked and both pockets were hole-less--a young woman wore on occasion. But‚ both the jeans and jacket are a bit faded now‚ the threads have turned awry‚ and the zippers have lost their shine. The woman has now passed it down to her daughter‚ but her

The passage “‘My mother‚ Pierre. The Ten Commandments‚ it’s a terrible sin to kill another person. What would the priests say? I’m not sure I can be a warrior.
