twelve: Mother Lover


A bit out of place on Telegraph Ave. in the raucous throws of a college town Friday night.
Honestly she looks far more retired soccer mom than homeless outreach.
This hardly fazes her though as she strides the block at a mall walkers pace, finding the grimace of the cold and hungry, and warily turns the unfamiliar into friendly.
This She drove here specifically from across town where she held a business meeting with far too much food.
This was a place where she could find “some people in need.”
Her smile speaks volumes as to who really needed whom.
