I make my way to more familiar ground,

first Grampy’s grave

and then at last my mom’s.

I bend and kiss her stone.

And then the almost-thought

I didn’t catch this afternoon

is back and breaking

through at last.

“Oh, Mom!” I ask her headstone.

“Is this how you had me?”

Carnal Knowledge, but No Other

I don’t know his middle name,

his birthday,

where he was born.

I don’t know his favorite cereal,

his favorite sport,

his favorite flavor of ice cream.

I don’t know why he moved here,

who he lives with,

how long he’s staying.
