when i walk into the kitchen
The morning birds greet me
as the blinds peek sunrise through the windows…
the blinds?
where are the blinds?
I prepare her tea, just as she likes it
watching the water boil over in temper
stirring the pot of macaroni on the stove
plating for a family of 5, neatly set out
Five?
one, two, three,four….
I stir the pot
i grind the leaves
i pour the tea
the water settles
Dad, the water settled
the blinds are gone
One, two,three…
Four.
Dad.
Dad?
