19 Years Ago
to the day
yet I feel nothing
this being
the first occurrence
of feeling nothing
untoward
on the anniversary
of my mother’s death
this anniversary
has never passed
without some murky
emotional turmoil
it is about time
I’d say
and although I am happy
to not be feeling wretched
relieved for the normalcy
and the ability
to remember her
without melancholy
still
I’m a little sad
to be feeling
so okay
