Gold chrysanthemums -
each one smaller than the last -
dropped at intervals
along the dark, wet pavement:
sunset on a winter’s day.

Munchausen Worries
My son had a temperature
of 102 for thirty-six hours.
He did not ask to play
on the PS3,
or to use the computer.
He was polite, and grateful
for everything I did for him.
Now he’s himself again,
I fight the unmotherly thoughts that
I look forward to his next illness.
