Bag

For 10 years

I had

kept my mother-in-law

Outside my heart.

While I was a long-standing

Tenant

In hers.

And you know what?

She kept me there.

Despite me.

And forgave me

Quickly.

So,

Like always

she came knockin again.

This time

I let her in.

She didn’t mind

Or didn’t see,

Or didn’t care about

The mess in the corner

I didn’t have a place for

Yet.

She just

Walked in

Like she knew

She was gonna

Like the place.

Now

She sits with the others

On the porch

of my heart

Sippin

Lemonade

And playin

Dominos.

The pic:

A photo

Not possible

Without

Deborah.

My mother-in-law.
