MOM
She was literally the black sheep.
Her skin darker/different
And they explained her adoption.
She would leave to her seclusion.
With a black board/chalk
And she taught unseen creatures.
Her dreams were to be a teacher.
A mother/sister/daughter
And she taught unseen creatures.
* * *
Against the odds she did school.
One class after the next
And one degree after the next.
Eventually she became a teacher.
A mother/sister/daughter
And more… Teaching creatures.
Her skin literally became lighter.
Belying her immutabilities
And she taught me this creature.
