SWEET BREAD

My palm is a mirror
here I hold the map of your body
three tulip bulbs in a brown paper bag
hiding in the dark under the kitchen counter
waiting to flower

a blue heron’s nest with two eggs
under a dusting of sand and twigs
the sea lashing in the background

dear mama
whenever I miss you
I only have to look at my palm
to see the curled yellow edges of your smile
and I imagine myself playing jump rope in the alley
smell of your sweet bread calling me home.
