3/19

today i go back to the apartment
my mom's apartment,
for the first time in about a week.

it is very difficult to see her things,
her slippers, her watch,
and
it's in a bit of a disarray
which seems an affront to her memory

this little flower makes it easier
a sign that life goes on
my mom bought this plant this winter,
she never saw it in bloom
but somehow i feel it's for her
