for your mother

after that moment

when things

swelled so beautifully big that

they burst

in two

all I could think about

was your

mother.

it really was

a very nice

kiss

and I’m not

sure

what reminded me

of her

but after cascading from

the wonderful afternoon

of your lips

I acrobat

to her home

and steal her pillows.
