breakfast
nourishing my body
my daughter
nourishing my soul
~
one day
when you’re ready
I’m ready
~
I’ll tell you
about a brother
you had
~
a brother
you have
~
mourning
our silent baby
our hospital room
together
~
to say good-bye
I asked for a blessing
from a man of faith
~
no soothing
comfort
just guilt
for not practicing
~
you could be anybody
our church
doesn’t know you
~
I have engraved your name on the palms of my hands
~
insincerity
grudgingly
walking through
a ritual
~
forgive me father
I know not
what I do
~
a four year old
my sister’s son
~
binary logic doesn’t
have all the answers
~
yes / no
sunny / rainy
~
tell me about
your drawing
~
it is a car
sunny and rainy at the same time
sometimes this happens
~
we are never too young / too old
to keep loving
to keep learning from
each other
~
thank you imagination
sometimes I wonder
about you
~
