Happy Mothers Day
May 10, 2010

I am the Budgie Baby
a parakeet in the kitchen
You’re my eyebrows
my need wipe down the table
since the sponge is already wet
He met you at a church dance
I met you after 3 before
barely making a peep
I know the world of why
in the creases ’round your eye
I know all the you in me
and now
the me in you.
