a poem a day for

a month was made, by many. my

kind of conspiracy.
gratitude: one feels, one expresses.
feeling is. expression fails.
expression: one does, one intends.
who, then, judges?
i miss you, sweetie. you’re singing for strangers again.
our son is asleep. i’m seeing the smile
that you’re singing through, hoping our smiles are behind your closed eyelids,
calling you home to bed.
we keep each other busy, mastering the marble
maze. he hums the head from ‘blue train,’
asks for more kimchi, reminds me to move the car.
who is the parent here?
