1

sitting in a flowery chair
mad with age
carrying conversations
with the travel channel

"beautiful...
             Mexico...
       beautiful Mexico...
             sixteen...
       day...
cruise..."

bright colors and sounds
her faithful companion

2

"I'm hungry
I need food
they don't feed me here"

holding a half-eaten sandwich

3

"who's your mother?"

grasping at wisps
of her old self
recognition just beyond
                    the horizon

does the memory of me
                    linger
in the back of her mind
or does she ask everyone
this question?
