I have my dad's frown lines on my forehead
but I've never seen him cry.
I hear my mother weep for the days gone by
wails in the bathroom echo on the hollow walls
the house they built together
He said it's over
I replied, "Alright"
as if it would ever be alright again
as if I'd ever figure out how to trust a man
Last night I dreamt of Dad showing Mom his new house
watched them like old friends
I woke up and laughed
wishful thinking
frown lines
