just wondering

sometimes
it almost seems
like you
don't care.
perhaps it's
the lack
of phone calls,
or e mails. there
hasn't been
a visit in
so long, i'm
beginning to
wonder if there
is someone else.
i hope not,
that would just
about break my
heart.
i didn't
even get a
christmas card
from you this
year, not a nod,
not a whistle.
not a plate of
homemade sugar
cookies shaped
into candy canes
and stars,
sleighs and
reindeer. not
even a tin
of candy from
swiss colony, just
what's up with
that, mom, you
really need to
step it up.
