DEAR MOMMY

Dear Mommy,
I wonder what you'd say to me today
when bad news comes across
the email and suck the wind
from my gut and make me
question my instinct my
I know the voice of God
sound so much like my mama
assurance--what would you
say as I sit here second-
and third-guessing my mind
my soul, my need to be free
and how the "alone" creeps
in when I can least 
afford it to visit
