There are some women

There are some women

There are some women
who should have mountains
to bear their names to time.

Gravemarkers are meaningless
or grey,
and daughters do not go faraway
to win the fist
their mother´s arms will always seem.

I never had a friend...
She lived and died in mighty opression
and with no dignity
left no book, daughter, husband or lover to mourn.

This is a mourning song
but also the naming of a mountain
on which we walk
fragant, dark and softly black
under the heavy mist.
I name this mountain after her.
