Vague Memories

Vague Memories

My mother died so long ago.
I only have vague memories

So many things I’d like to know.
There is no possibility.
There’s no one left to verify
the small vignettes that I recall

I can’t be sure although I try.
She died when I was very small
My memories may prove to be
a blend of fact and fantasy.

I can’t be sure that they are true
and there is nothing I can do.
I can’t resolve the mystery
I have outlived my family.
