tagNon-Erotic Poetryit's been years

it's been years

bySeattleRain©

your mother sent me a photo of you
with your new daughter

sitting on a sofa
in your St. Louis apartment
watching the New York Knicks

I strain to read titles of the books
lined up on the shelf behind you,
trying to steal a glimpse
of who you have become

wondering
how you became anything
without me
