Today I hung laundry
on wire and dust.
Saw mudpies
drying on a shelf.
Cursed mulberry

I didn’t know an ordinary day
with my three little girls
was passing beneath
the shadow of an eraser.

My mother died at the age of 84 from Alzheimer's. Until her last conscious day she was searching for her babies never knowing we were sitting in front of her.
