when mom called out your name
in a loud and excited voice
i thought you were coming home
and i felt a jolt of unexpected happiness
go through me
but there was no one to be seen
because she was exclaiming to the framed picture of you
that always sits on the dinner table
which will probably never be a good enough substitute
for having a dinner with five instead of four
i wish you could come home though
