Modern Conveniences - Part Two
The magnetic sign
on the dishwasher reads,
“sparkly clean”
opening the door
I expect to see cups, knives,
forks, spoons, and dishes
lined up, standing at attention
like spit and polished soldiers
waiting to rest
at ease in their kitchen cabinet barracks
to my immense surprise
there’s been a security breach
the dishwasher is empty
one of my computer savvy posterity
hacked into the domestic database,
stole my single-user appliance entry code
and voluntarily did a chore
to tell you the truth

Regret
affliction dear please afford me this confession
assorted pain dances in my mind tormenting me
the ghosts of my children's childhoods
I see their baby faces
not enough food to sustain their grumbling bellies
they still visit me in my resting state
I see their young faces knowing I failed them
they haunt my existence I see threads wait more like nooses
troubling the present trying to hang them
none of my grown children want anything to do with each other
too many bad memories
still basically living in poverty ...
assorted pain dances in my mind tormenting me
the ghosts of my children's childhoods
I see their baby faces
not enough food to sustain their grumbling bellies
they still visit me in my resting state
I see their young faces knowing I failed them
they haunt my existence I see threads wait more like nooses
troubling the present trying to hang them
none of my grown children want anything to do with each other
too many bad memories
still basically living in poverty ...

My Two Baby Boys
(for Joshua and J'don with so much love)
You gave me a gift today.
I've never seen two more adorable
Boys than you.
I feel like you liked me today.
You gave me the gift
Of mommy today.
I felt like mommy again.
I felt a little needed.
A little necessary.
We talked of video games
And Call of Duty
And cartoons and YouTube
And you two showed off
Your awesome gymnastics,
And I remembered how I once
Took gymnastics as a child,
And how much fun it was.
And I caught myself watching ...
You gave me a gift today.
I've never seen two more adorable
Boys than you.
I feel like you liked me today.
You gave me the gift
Of mommy today.
I felt like mommy again.
I felt a little needed.
A little necessary.

Fern ii
To know her
is to know layers of ocean
in ways you didn't before,
to identify moths by eyes,
to grow lychnis for dye,
to speak
in half-learnt sign,
to orchestrate jumble sales,
learn to paper-craft,
watercolour,
pastel,
bake
in ways that you didn't before,
to take succulent cuttings by Sunday,
pick apart ways to tolerate change,
to apologise,
to take responsibility,
to rearrange,
to distance,
to organise
sections until puzzles make sense,
to know her is to understand
love...
