The Way My Mother Speaks

• “I say her phrases to myself

  in my head”
• “restful shapes moving”
• “The day and ever. The day and ever.”
• “The train this slow evening”
• “browsing for the right sky”
• “too blue swapped for a cool grey”
• “What like is it”
• “I am happy and sad

  like a child”
• “who stood at the end of summer“
• “in a green erotic pond”
• ”I am homesick, free, in love”
• “with the way my mother speaks”
