Nostalgic Solidarity

In a dressing room
In upstate
She waits.
Fumbling with thoughts of
Things left behind
A light sigh cries
From her lips
Like
That time when mom
Left the screen open
And Maverick escaped.
She chased that dog for hours,
She did.

Eventually things
Returned to their right place.
It wasn't so bad then
Was it?
Things will get better.
