Inheritance

Marisol Vega

Free verse · Family

My mother left me three things:a ring that fits no finger I have,a recipe written in a hand I can't read,and the habit of standing at the windowwhen I don't know what to do with my hands.

Two of them I keep in a drawer.The third I am doing right now.
