Banana Pancakes

Sunday morning delirium,

waking up from dizzy dreams

and knowing I’m safe with you.

Every weekend was a getaway growing up,

No matter how heavy the school week was,

I knew I had banana pancakes with you.

I spent my childhood knowing

you’d always fight to keep me fed

with a roof over my head.

It didn’t matter where we were though,

As long as you were there.

I’d get embarrassed of your hugs as a teen

yet as an adult now I wish for more

knowing we’re miles away

and years from bedtime routines

and those Sunday banana pancakes.

For my mom, Teri.
