Some how
I have maneged
to escape there
questions
and plates full of food
trying to feed me
like I've never
eaten before
and I wandered around
because it has been so long
since I've seen my own house
and the pictures are hanging all in a row
and they are all clean
no spots
at all
and then I freeze
because there she is
and just like
I remeber
she glows
I am stuck
there in the hall
when my mother
comes
she stops
right next to me
and a tear falls
from both of
our eyes
and puts her
arm around me
and for the first time
I let it all out
and she holds me
not telling me to stop
and I cry
and she whimpers
and we both stand up
when my father comes
and he's got water
running from his eyes
and we stare at the picture
that glows
