Several states away
she reads
lines of Midsummer
It will be over before
she gets
to return home
She won’t tell me
how she really feels
so I don’t really know
and I, too, read
Midsummer
at home
in the dark
A poem from 2020, from my Medium archive. Funny how parenting shows up in so much of my creative work. . . . Thank you for reading!
