by Katherine Mansfield (1888 - 1923)
My little mother
Language: English
My little Mother, my star, my courage, my own. I seem to dwell in her now. We live in the same world. Not quite this world, not quite another. Not a soul knows where she is. She goes slowly, thinking it all over, wondering how she can express it as she wants to -- asking for time and for peace.
