MoTHer DEar,

I'd hoped you'd received this letter, (and clearly left a statement behind).I'd talked to daDDy-- you had the perfect breasts, I hear.   (and your high school dreams were much like mine, --and I have your eyes, nose- I had hoped to be your Future (whose child was not your Joy?) and I walked on a line-you followed quickly with a straw! (and disappear'd behind me) saw one set of Footprints knew without doubt they were Mine… my nine mos. in your warm belly (and the separation beyond induced  labours of love!) gave you the Perfect Reason! and yet, my handprints still remain… (and I couldn't be your perfect drug? instead resort to those…)I love you still! left recordings and never-minded the results numbed my ears enough to crawl back just so I could make you a saint, an Angel again did you "never want…"  that Kid? (that Kid talked too much, cried…?) did that tequila make you feel better about that Man, (he'd provided the salt, bettered you for it!) (and tho I sang my twentieth (nearly) alone, I called you…) Had wanted to tell You how well He loves me! (and give you my most Joy…)
