One eye on the earth
One eye on the stars
We try to marry them together
Mother and father
Arguing and welcoming
One another's gifts
As if we were born
Out of wedlock out of first love
The woman who goes home
To live with her mother
The father less remote when absent
Grown-up children who've
Come home to care for them or not
Their eyes now fixed on heaven
