By Jennifer Brown Banks
PROMPT — Who am I today?
Who am I today?
A survivor,
I am less than
I was yesterday,
Yet more than
I thought I could be,
In the presence of her absence,
The death of she
Who gave life to me....
Who am I today?
Confused,
Broken,
Like a fraction reduced to its lowest terms,
Yet made whole
By the strength
Of the legacy
She leaves me
