Son’s Letter | Mom’s Reply
by Beresford A. Davidson,
A letter written under duress, To mother living overseas, Reveal invariable vise and stress; On Son’s victories piled in debris.
Her script, in Jamaican | British colloquial reply . . . Awakens his shattered faith to redress, Hypostatic genre in him, by others deny . . . Those powers of discrimination, progress, The summons by Defeat, he must regress.
His letter to her, in a poem, reveals, Veiled wounds, on refined values, belie, Truths hidden why a man of conceit kneels, In penitence and stress, never can he lie.
1986 NY City, Met life, Park Avenue South
