she waits for them

strange serenity disharmonious weightless utterly empty outside world continues yet she feels infinitely detached doesnt feel the Sun above the Earth below

she sits on the curb beside the white teddy bear strange how the flowers she had brought multiply do other people add their condolences

after a time drying her tears she returns to the house empty house family & friends told her to move out she cant attached to the house the house connected like an umbilical cord

each night hearing the cries the noises her daughter her husband finding their way lost wandering she waits for them
