Single Mother
/Starbucks cups litter
The stove and the tabletop
Mingling with wrappers
Tired dinner for one
Eaten alone by the sink
Food–nothing fancy
Calm quiet at last
Responsibilities cease
Children are asleep
Remembering times
Fancy free and limitless
Burdened but with dreams
Life came and I left
Life came–nothing left
