thunder and lightning
holding him close
through the tantrum

so many nightmares
this tangle of cables
next to my bed
bumper sticker
covering the chip
on her shoulder
filling up
the kiddie pool
a mom’s guilt
art house films
the life before
I had kids
black and white
the absolute truth
of her ultrasound
snowstorm
even the stoplights
slow down
