Until next time,

choked on my words
at the breakfast table
and drank a cold glass of water
with my morning pills
all the ones
that I am tired of explaining
how much you fits into
all the ones
harsh,
gentle,
troubled,
lost,
found,
wounded,
but loved and cared more
tender and filled with joy
and yes I still need to talk to you
talk to you and see myself
talk to you and hear myself
talk to you and feel how much I exist
we made love at the breakfast table
you poored tea into my cup
birds were having a morning talk
you filled the kitchen with your smell
God spoke from your mouth
the days felt weightless
in the warmth of the tea that you poored into my cup
I watched you
silent
and choked on my words
My mom didn’t let me have sugar cereal growing up. I was however allowed to put honey on my cheerios. To this day, I still look forward to my bowls of cheerios, honey, and granola. Honey Nut Cheerios are delicious, but they don’t remind me of my sweet, thoughtful mother.
