Daughterhood

I'm sorry for not hearing all the ways your heart tried to speak to mine.

You look like a kid who poured his soul into a telephone tin can,

only to find the other end—dusty and forgotten—on the kitchen counter.

I'm sorry for never picking up my end.

I'm sorry for never listening to what little of yourself you could translate to words.
