The One for Mom

"Embracing disfunction"
was the term he used
to describe what I had said.

This was right after
you were elated
by hearing the same.

I wasn't honest with him
about how I quit my job.

So when I got home
I found myself prostrate before God.

A tear fell up
out of my right eye
toward my forehead
and I still want to cry

in your bosom.
