Waiting
a message today
in code
shaky voice
can't tell if she's sober
telling me shes
in her counselors office
which leads me to wonder
if its
jail
hospital
rehab
psychiatric hospital
where are you today?
three almost four weeks
without word
mothers agony mocks
a scream of silence
unbearable
not to know
unable to hear
hanging my head
waiting
