You had a brunch as a true family on the porch under a warm bright sun

I sat indoors.

The brunch was without and still you
laughed
and joked
and talked like nothing was wrong
and nothing was missing

When you came back for seconds
I was sitting alone
picking at my food
and none of you asked if I was alright

you just passed by on your way back to the porch
and
not
one
of you glanced my way

You heard the wood creaking loudly as I approached the stairs
no one said anything

so I guess my gift this Mother's Day is my death

cause I may as well be dead to you
