You are grateful
because in sharing your joys
your anger is apparent
slide it into home
with a no-invitation
boundary-breaking text.
Make certain I know
I am on The List
and you are grinning
the undeniable love grin
the overwhelming love grin
Mommy loves you even though grin
while you praise
small pieces of my life
and, behind your back
squeeze nails
into my heart.
