in the sink
so i can love you tonight
leave me a shirt
in the wash
so i can love you tomorrow
i sweep things away
all day
with nothing to show.
i play wordless songs
and hum quiet tunes
i watch you.
the words resonate
in my ears.....
get up.
go do.
or else
they will
forget you.
i scream back
against the waves
of sickness
you
lie.
i am your mother
i am your wife
this is
because we promised
to each other
to life.
funny,
i never learned
to trust.
