Drops From Her Umbrella


in adulthood
I can still count on her
my mother
taking my jacket from me
and shaking off the rain


do I want bells on my balloons
the store clerk asks me
and it's a cheerful day all around


on my way
to return library books
-at a red light
reading that sentence
one last time


Drops From Her Umbrella, Laura Maffei
