Evening Thinking 

Day fades out

Night returns

With a yellow moon


A moon as bright as the sun

With a scatter of stars

Dancing around the moon


A sky as black as ink

The lights cast shadows

Long shadows


I sit alone

By my window, looking

Until mother calls for dinner


Dinner


Dinner

A quiet affair

Where all eat

But me


I sit and chop food

smaller

And smaller

And smaller


I do not eat

But pretend

No one notices

At all


My parents talk

And my siblings join in

The conversation

I don't


I eat some

But minimum

And only because

My father is looking


After they all disappear

To get on with life

I quietly go to the trash

And empty my plate
