Letting Go …

Sitting in
my mother’s final
sleeping room
weeping to
the sound of Perry Como
as I watch her go.

Our House

My mom’s moved away.
Home now, we’re just exhausted–
Leonard Cohen plays.

I’m only
available for
short spells at
present, as
my mom is moving into
a retirement home.

My Other Mother

Mother’s Day road trip
to my Mother-in-law–not
near, but dear to me.

I’ll Be Mother …

Perfect pot of tea,
’til I select a cup—the
lid plops in. Hot! Hot!
