Foundation on a bruise
Sunday was silenced
by saturday night,
a split lip sips coffee
from a worlds greatest mum mug.
Children won't get dressed today
they know Disney isn't real,
they know which charaters to play
and all their lines.
Sunglasses stop the glare
head scarf keeps her mind
from spilling out into the supermarket.
She smashes her parking lot fists
onto the steering wheel
then opens her trembling fingers.
The children risk a glance at dad
as the back door breaks its seal,
his beer goes into the fridge first.
"you've been a long time, were starving in here"
She steady's herself, ready to speak for the first time that day
and takes a bread knife out of the drawer.
It's a question, that she knows will reset the day.
"Who wants peanut butter sandwiches?"
"Me me me" shout the children resuming their childhood.
She spreads it so thick, they can't see the bread.
