List Valentine


Your mother called to
ask what you were up to
not how you’re doing but
‘I want to know
what you’re up to’
left that as a message
I really didn’t want
to talk about her
she was just the first
on my list of things
to tell you I did this
this morning and then
I sat and read for hours
someone’s descent into
hell which turned out
to be just a prison
you could be released from
could move to another town
resume your immortality.
