Mother drops us off at Aoi's
with a glum expression, a kiss and
a "be good, I'll be back in an hour."
It's loud inside,
the kids have grown and I can hear
the way they screech happily
in the garden outside.
Everything feels foreign.
Not a trace of who we were remains.
The walls are painted,
there are new carpets and sofas
and the garden's greenery
is replaced with grey slabs
and a mess of colorful toys.
Zeira and Miria come running,
grinning at us and hugging my legs,
"Oh we missed you Harmony!"
"I missed you too,"
I whisper into their fluffy hair
making sure Suki doesn't hear me.
I'll always love you
no matter what.
