Pot Roast Sunday

my mother
was proud of her 
jigsaw puzzles.
taking
all winter to put one together.
sitting at
the dining room
table, gathering
pieces by color.
what was it this time?
The Effiel Tower.
she'd call when it was finished
and say you
have to come over
on Sunday to see it.
i'll make a pot roast.
and when i did,
there it was,
laminated
and hanging on her
sewing room wall.
the next puzzle already
out of the box.
