LAMENT
do you think of me
today
son
do I cross your mind
should you find yourself
at someone else’s
celebration tea
do you take a sec
to wonder about me
and murmur
yes, I used to have one
but I turned my heart away
from all of that
faux normality
for reasons only known
to me
does your slender finger
maybe
hover over SEND
some message
to a mother
that might start
the end
to grief
to heartache and
to misery
or is that
only me
who thinks of you
today.
