The house
Do not invite
anybody home.
A house is falling
into the pieces.
The roof is leaking
and a mold
ate the kitchen floor.
Do not invite
anybody to your house.
It is a ruin now.
I came to see her
in the hospital,
after she took
to many pills.
She was holding
given tapestry
on her knees:
"... and I thought
he doesn't love me..."
She wanted
to come back.
Whatever he took, I even
do not remember his name,
he didn't want to come back.
It was final.
I know I owe her
words of sympathy,
but I can't overcome
a barrier I built
by myself inside of me.
Our past keeps hunting us
in our future.
There is no escape.
Yes, I am sorry
it happened to her
and more I am sorry
for one thrown away
young life.
I guess, it is all mothers
nightmare
and for her
it came thorough.
We moved from the house
into an apartment.
The house was torn down.
