Written In The Margin Of A Math Book MAG
I bought a Rod McKuen CD
for my mother as a thank you.
Listening to it in my room,
she knew all the words. We leaned
against my blue bed, under
the stars of my wallpaper. She closed
her eyes and sun, like foiled wrapping paper,
came in my windows for the first time that week ...
She sang: "I'll catch the sun
and never give it back again."
And I am left with this:
the unattended prom, the unfinished
poems, the undone braids, and
my mother's voice.
