staring in the mirror
unable to forgive
her—
my mother's laugh
often sounded like
broken piano music

with children
loud and unruly
in the back
stealing one more bun

trudging home quickly
i'll drop off
my knapsack before
visiting the nail shop
for a manicure

for a moment
kneeling
on hard floor
near the bed
prayers clumsily
fall out of my mouth
