the sunday visit

i can still hear
my mother's voice on the phone.

that Wednesday
call.

that guilt. why, she says, haven't
you come over
lately.

come sunday, i'm making stew.
i know like stew.

bread, salad. i made a cake.
it's no
occasion, just

visit.

what time, i ask her.

five she says, but one is okay too.
bring nothing,

just you.
