My conversation with Aunt Eevie
almost makes me forget
where we're going tonight.
Mother locks the front door
the click resonates
and bounces around the empty street
I shiver in my padded coat
as Suki and I wait for her.
Suki's demeanor had finally
finally
started to lighten a bit
but she stands now
with a deep scowl marring her face
like an ugly scar.
I'm numb.
I'm not sure what to think
or how to feel.
I have a million questions
swarming, overwhelming me
Why does father want to see us?
Does mother want to see Aoi
Does she know? About the kids?
How does she feel?
The only thing I'm certain about
is the hollow feeling
in my stomach
Don't go back!
It screams.
