Away in the moment – I am the only child tagging along with you, holding hands on a quiet street where there are no cars, no traffic lights, no dogs or people – just us. We were going to visit someone who, I can’t remember. It may have been spring as we walk without coats swinging our arms in synch. You carry a gift bag We are both happy to be away from home Out of the sight of your mother, my grandmother whose limitless scolding up the stairs to our three-room apartment shared by six has you trembling each time she summons you to the top of the stairs. You are saved by the steps she cannot climb. For her it is enemy territory inhabited by you, your children and the man you married, the eternal outsider. You are smiling and going away from the house we’re holding hands under the sun on our way to a place I cannot name. |
