return to sender

the e mail
skips back, undeliverable.
I send it again,
and again.
no luck.
it's always worked before.
what gives.
I call the number,
it's busy.
it's dead.
no one is there.
I send a letter,
a post card.
return to sender is stamped
on the front.
my mother is getting harder
and harder
to reach these days.
