Everything is a Microcosm of Everything Else by Sarah Robbins
Everything is a Microcosm of Everything Else by Sarah Robbins
poetry
I text my mother
a poem
from the coffee shop.
I know she is
often alone.
There is a pothos
with a yellow
leaf in the window
in front of me.
I sit on my hands.
It is not mine to pluck.
