This was not a happy childhood

She stood at the window

waiting for her husband
who should be home

He had been away
a few days

He arrived
picked the suitcase
packed
and walked away

She was standing
at the window
waiting for him

The boy was
under the table
writing numbers
in his note pad

He used to
get food
in school.
