It’s broken …I said …it’s not …she replied
To me …a microwave … her …memory alive
Had it …years …when husband around
Their …possession …memories abound
Accusations she tossed …escalating state
I BACKED OFF …too much on her plate
Naturally …needs replacing …I said
Leave this house …said …to my dread
Hindsight …she wasn’t mad at me
JUST … wanting … things
That …could …not …be.

This WHISPER IN TIME came from my journal written the winter I spent with Mom at her home in N.Y. Nov. 2010 to April 2011. She pined for that microwave, it held memories of what was!
