Two Places At Once

Mother holding her child made of her tears. The tears overflow to a rainbow over flowers. — *by Angela Miller*

I will forever wish
I could be in two places at once.
Mothering a child
who is no longer
here
and mothering my children
who are—
is a constant balancing act,
the infinite art of
embracing both/and.

I am here,
and I am there.
I am learning how
to be
two places
at once.
