As soon as we walk up to
the tall black door,
the artificial scent
of fabric softener,
the type Mei uses,
overwhelms me.
Like it's trying to push me away.
I fight it and inhale sharply
just to spite it
I'm not going anywhere
For a moment,
All goes still.
The silence rings in my ears
And the sweet smell
Materializes in front of me
With it's clear skin
With it's wide, light eyes
And I realize who it is
"Oh,"
She blinks at us in surprise,
"You're here already?"
Then a sudden smile
splits her face in two
bright like it's trying
to blind me
"Oh I've missed you girls!
Come inside,
it's a bit messy still
but..."
Her voice tunes out
and all I see are her cherry lips
moving frantically
their corners upturned
Oh, I think
She hasn't changed
She's still the same
Then another though
fills my mind
as we follow her
into the warm living room,
Have I changed?
