For Mom

I wrote you this poem

for Mother’s Day,

on a page I covered

in juice from mulberries

I picked and smushed

one by one with my hands,

which are your hands,

now stained our favorite color.

I did this because

I’m in Kansas,

and you’re not,

and I miss you terribly.

Don’t worry, Mom.

I’m okay out here.

I’ll visit soon.
