tie onto the floor

the deliciousness of a juice

             was

  all the woman needed to
bring the child’s friends and birthday party
            to a place and way she

       had hoped    from her childhood
that
her
kids
would one day have … bicycles and
            tracking MUD
             through the kitchen, and
         her
            husband throwing his tie onto the

            floor, wrestling the kids, throwing
       baseballs with the kids
                            ( not yelling because
                                         of
                                         shattered windows)
