SIGNATURE MEMORY

I thought mothers lived forever
I was wrong, wrong, wrong
Your dishes and dresses were only distractions

But your signature
On the no longer needed driver’s license
I held next to my heart

[After my mother’s death, came the task of going through the detritus she left behind. The talisman power of her signature caught me off guard]
