never cleaner, the meals
never more
exotic and delicious than
when her
parents came to visit.
her sister too.
the good china came out.
the best wine.
the music queued.
candles were lit. no clutter
to be found,
each counter had a shine.
and her too.
the radiant smile,
the new dress,
a new hair style. she was
on her best behavior for
a few hours,
life almost seemed normal
for those short
stretches of time.
