I took a wrong turn the other day.
A mistake, but it led me to the shop
where I found
the very thing I'd been searching for.
With my brother I
opened a packet
of old letters from my mother and saw a side of her
that
sweetened what had been deeply sour.
Later that day the radio sang a song
from
a time when I was discovering love,
and folded me into itself again.
