If Things Were Mothers – Sylvia Orthof
If the moon were mother, it would be mother of the stars,
heaven would be her home, home of the beautiful stars.

If the mermaid were a mother, she would be the mother of the fish,
the sea would be a garden, the boats their paths.

If the house were a mother, it would be the mother of the windows,
talk to the moon about the star children,
I would talk about recipes, wind pastries, quindins,
I would lend the kitchen to the moon to make puddings!

If the earth were mother, it would be the mother of seeds,
for mother is everything she embraces, finds it funny, and loves the agent.

If a fairy were a mother, she would be a mother of joy,
every mother is a little fairy… Our fairy mother would be.

If a witch was a mother,
would be funny mother:
she would be the mother of brooms, of the Broom Family!

If the kettle were a mother, it would be the mother of boiled water,
I would make tea and medicine for life's illnesses.

If the table was a mother,
the daughters, being chairs,
would sit well,
they would have “good manners”.

Every mother is different: a real mother, or a surrogate mother,
mother grandmother and mother auntie, Maria, Filó, Francisca,
Gertrude, Malvina, Alice,
Every mother is like I said.

Mrs. Mummy scolds and kisses,
misses, hits, sets the table,
cooks, writes, works out,
laugh, forget, remember and cry,
bring medicine and dessert …

There are fathers who are “mother-like”…
This one, then, is a beauty!
