Portrait Poems: Mountains (For Martha)

Mountains

By Justine C. Tajonera

She tells me
there is
something
that fires her
up
beyond the
mundane world
of making
a living.
I see her
climbing
mountains
with her sons
in tow,
conquering spaces
she never dreamed
of.
She is a
force of
nature.
Give her time
and she
could lift
mountains.
