It was a bad night.
Father was here
and I could hear him
arguing with Mother
in our language
through where the wall
separated my room from Mother's.
"I let you live here
I let you see your children again"
Mother hissed,
"Don't even try to persuade me
into being civil with that woman. "
"The kids should stay together,
I don't want them to grow apart."
Father yelled back.
"It's ironic, really it is.
You should've thought of that before."
"I don't give a-" He swore.
"They're my kids!
I'll do with them as I please."
"You can try, you-" more swearing.
"But if you think for one moment
that this will be good for
any of us,
then you're in for a nasty shock."
