it gets better

your son
calls you with
sad news.
he's broken
up with his
girlfriend in
California. the poet,
the actress.
the whirlwind
of spice
and hair.
you have little
advice to give
him,
but to stay
calm, cry if you
must.
write a farewell,
remember the good,
and move on
to higher ground.
don't forget to eat
and breathe.
it's taken you
many years
to do the same.
it gets better.
