Based on the photo, “Child with Lola.” Lola is a Tagalog/Filipino word referring to a grandmother.

Longing for mother
The child
with her lola’s
aged warmness withered
hands longing to replace mama’s
blanket.

Original Photo title “Child with lola” uploaded by Jeri Daking at Flickr (click photo to follow link). All texts on this post are my works and are solely mine. I tried constructing another Cinquain here.
