They had a trial.

 

A trial of what to do.

 

Her mom disappeared.

 

So I took her place.

 

I said what happened.

 

And everything I knew about her.

 

I said she could stay with me.

 

The judge disagreed.

 

She was sitting there.

 

She looked at me.

 

And she wasn’t the same.

 

She looked less sad.

 

Less confused.

 

Just less.
