Eyes open
Mom!
Brew the coffee
Lunches packed
Backpacks half-zipped
Keys in my mouth
Coffee cold
Laundry moved warm
Mountain sits cold
Groceries melt in the trunk
Practice
Practice again
Dinner late
Drive through
Bath rushed
Bed not soon enough
My chest stays lifted
Waiting
For permission
That never comes
Hello pillow
Eyes wide open
Mom
