About My Mother

I visit my Mother
and feed her words from the old days:
“Yes, Daddy was good
and brought us all chocolate candy,
but he did always love you best.
You, Mother, in your flower-laden hats:
were the prettiest Mother at Sibley School.
No, your brain is fine. It’s perfect.
You are healthy.
I am Linda. Remember?
Momma, I am not Lilac or Lily.
I am Linda.
I am Linda”
