I don’t visit my mother’s grave;
a stone, a church yard; these are my sister’s symbols, not mine.
I keep my mother in my head, all the spirit of her, a mother alone,
and all the consequences when she couldn’t really cope with bringing up a thinking boy she didn’t understand.
I don’t visit my mother’s grave: I carry it.
