KAREN IN INDIANA
So deeply beloved.
“And I don’t understand.”
They knew your story before
you did,
and you gave them the gift
of returning. They could see
for themselves
how the story turned out.
YOU KNOW THIS, KAREN
When you come back
they get to go out with their cousin.
They get to see their aunt.
They talk with your mother--
her face, her voice, in you.
her face, her voice, in you.
YOU KNOW THIS, TOO
Every breath is telling
All showing, showing all
