birthday / deathday
one day, my mother will be sent so many lilies,
she will have to start putting them in buckets
after all, who would think to have so many vases,
when good things don’t come around that often.
in the years after,
she will buy orange tulips
only once a year, only six or seven
my sister was born in July
and now, when the weather is beautiful,
it no longer feels misplaced
