The Yellow Room
My Mama hides all day
alone in her room.
The walls are painted yellow
by cigarette fumes.
She says, "I need a refill. My bottle is empty."
Yesterday there were twenty.
My Mama is a bird
that no longer sings.
My Mama is a butterfly
that has lost it's wings.
Mama, Mama, where did you go?
Somewhere I will never know.
