Conversing With Her Absence

by

Connie R. Meester
Valorie Broadhurst Woerdehoff

 

pulling on my boots
so Mother
will wear hers

that story again
faded stain on the wallpaper

alone at dawn
she whispers morning words
into her pillow

silver tea set polished
now she entertains
dust

circling her walker
attendant on her heals

catching myself
conversing with her
absence
