I thought the older we got the more the age gap would close 52 - 35 = 17 But You're forever old now 52 and I'm the age you were 35 When I was 17

17
On the cold floor I can't go any further I'm low I am in it These days are frightening I can't see the light But the floor feels right Maybe they'll think no one is in here Or I'm here, but don't notice no light Or I just am having a mom moment And I have no place else to be I don't.

I resign
Ego Synapses There is something here It yearns for you Its thousand year twin How When I’m all bundles Nerves Wire Bones Circuits Skin Evolution so much I can read this And think this And feel Cloned Forgotten What ever genius in my singular creation You Give me God

Lists and errands I'm not lists and errands I am here I am today Mounds of feelings and fibers More than a mother My head is a checklist It's all a checklist Are these quick words even written right? It won't ever stop

New glasses
With little hands you crawled from my womb But you're not a baby now You could be anyone You're made of stardust and dinosaurs And people I've never met I gaze at you looking for some resemblance of anything I know And you raise your brow and give me a dead stare Because you find it weak of me To love you so matter-of-factly You can see I don't know anything Or you She figured me out by 15

Over Coffee
Let me live in my sin It's.mine. Like when you remove your glove, finger by finger, plucking the tips with a pull. Freeing each finger until all are freed. Pulling your hand out, cupping glove to glove and laying them on that end table you love. The one with the lamp that appeared when your Mom died. The only thing you got from her because you hated her.

Sin
I'm hips and lips ******* and legs Atop two unsteady feet Always Treading oppression Tiptoeing past resembling her Balancing on a beam Dangling from poles Wading through clothes Skipping with children Kick starting Moving forward My ******* Against heavy gravity

Walking
Dying alone here in my Thoughts Of Dreams of all things I should be doing. Useless and Careless so much sometimes to care and use myself. My abilities. I need people to understand or I'll always be stuck here inside myself wondering what the hell I'm doing It has stopped raining now
