this man
came to the house
with my uncle.
My mother
beckoning me
to the other room
clasping me
whispering
she has a bad feeling about that man
she tried to shake it
it won't go away
she told his friend
her brother
i told my mother
he is a born again
brain washed
dangerous are the ones
that don't think for themselves
then the brother uncle and
his friend
left.
All back to normal
the house again.
until
the keys to the garage
where found to have left too.
But none of us know where
not the mother
or the grandmother
or the uncle
or me
we did not ask the friend
Later my mother
whisphering
again but different
tucking me into bed
'i made your lunch
for work tomorrow'
smile
warm tight sleep love
xx
