coming back in years

linked as casually as a road
hissing between this city and the next
then linking onward to the next and the next

 

alone we are born and in tears

then relate to mother, grandmother, another

extend our miniature bodies with immense hope

 

and always love--growing ever greater,

even greater than life--we may never speak

again, yet our echoes surrender new conversations

Thank you, Nicole <3

ghost in my throat

once again I tell my mom to hurry synonyms swarm in my belly  rushing, quickly, soon                              hug me, hug me other hours...
