daughter_speculation
jane the sound of my mother weeping
leaks through the crack in my door
where usually heat slips out.

at first i thought perhaps
it was a sneeze, some tissue
& then i wonder what kind of

letter she must have received
to make her sob so. i wonder
if maybe her father passed on.

& if he did perhaps she weeps
for years of resentment she held
for his abuse on her brother's skin.

my heart melts but i stay in bed
thinking it's not my job
to rest my head on her neck.
