mother

on the phone, she says,
I'm sorry I wasn't better. I should have
stayed with your father.
I should have
stayed for you.

she says getting older is just
god's way of making you dwell
on how shitty you've been.
the days repeat like a song
stuck in your head. everyday
she sees herself leaving her daughters
with the man she no longer loved

and not looking back.
