Third Family Portrait |
It was the dead of winter |
The cold was in our bones |
And our shelves stood barren |
As we had ever known |
So our mother stands on the porch one evening |
With a silent crack in her stony mask |
She looked up at the sky |
And said «please» |
And by the turn of summer |
We’d packed up all we owned |
And with my mom and brothers |
We started for the coast |
And I would count all the clouds on the way |
And you and I would name them |
While the world around us changed |
And I remember asking if the place we’re moving |
Would have more food and my mother grew as distant as can be |
And mouthed «please» |
Eyes, so tired eyes |
Pay no mind |
The river of time will drown these days out |
It was the year just after |
We stood and watched the sea |
And my mom was smiling |
No longer saying please |
