. . . mother’s day
every little thing for my mother, Patricia Anne (1936 - 2006) every autumn rainstorm every snowfall in november every christmas dinner every birthday of the year every cup the Lions win every game Öhlund plays every dollar won or lost at the casino on the pier every casual phone call every living room discussion every evening on the town all the journeys far away every class I teach summer walk I take every poem I write the moments I spend alone each day every little thing that happens in this world every thing little because nothing’s so big as a life is smaller now for your leaving and bigger for your having been here (2006)
So specifically lovely. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your mother with us.
Yes! 🩵🐬
