Everyone in the house
is feeling some type of way.
& since it’s only me & Mami,
what I mean is we are tiptoeing around.
Mami pads through the house
writing checks for bills
I didn’t even know we had.
Mami is spending money
on a promise; she is spending money
we don’t even truly have yet.
She ignores work, forgets appointments.
I do not recognize this reckless woman
who has taken residence in my mother’s body.
But I also don’t want her to leave
a place I know is safe. So I say nothing.
I make her lunch she doesn’t touch,
& I climb through the Johnsons’ window
when I need to hear noise around me.
If tension is a winged monster,
it’s cast its feathers
on the roof of my house.
