the reflecting moon

by Carissa Dewey

Driving- hours,
my mother calls with news,
Tiffany the eldest
has a tumor,
has been put to sleep.

I am passenger,
and you point out the new moon,
a portion, we both take a silentlong stare.

Seldom, but sometimes you
say words of love.

I’m lonely, how can you love me?

this piece feels really kind of nonchalant despite the subject matter. i like it.
