I woke up abruptly in my bed after a long slumber
In my dorm room bed.
The matcha leaves were bombarded by the poured hot water
Splish Splash.
Down to the side of my friend’s mug.
The honey sluiced down to the side of my throat steadily.
Splish Splash,
Such Sustenance
I am no longer cold.
The lining of my skin and veins are
No longer cascaded with watered down cold coffee.
Splish Splash.
My parents notice that my bones are becoming frigid
With my bobs burgers blanket on Facetime
I am no longer cold.
Splish Splash.
But my mom does not know
How much I miss her,
How much I need her more than ever.
College feels like an amalgamated loneliness.
My mom reminded me that she will always be there
For me.
The handmade cards are all I have left of her
When I moved out.
She called me, “snowflake,”
The nickname she always calls me.
Most of the memories of her are now flooded,
and stampeded
Between the synapses of my head.
Splish Splash.
