To Anna…

FAVORITE COMFORT FOOD My mom’s quajado – a Sephardic Jewish loaf of spinach, eggs, feta and parmesan cheese – and its pungent, earthy smell.
ON MY TABLE The Sunday paper, unread. I’m saving it for a rainy day.
MAKES ME SMILE Talking to someone you love as they are just waking.

King County Correctional

on the edge

of a travel-sized toothpaste
she files her nails
and looks out on her home

crooked,

smiling

tonight
I’ll sleep on a mattress that bends against my spine

she will sleep on a stomach full
of bicycle parts

what do I know
about motherhood

fenders
cranks and
concrete
