My mother cried 

and through a fir when she saw my hair.

You were standing off to the side,

unable to react. 


My mother crumbled to her knees

by my side, weaving

her trembling fingers through

my chopped hair, sobbing.


"my boy..." She cried.

"You had hair just like my little boy."


"he's dead!" The words ripped from my mouth

before i can stop them, and i slap

my mother's hand away,

suddenly furious.


"Your my mom!"

And suddenly you are holding me back,

as i scream at my flinching mother, cowering in the corner


When I slump against your chest,

i let you hold me,

and i pretend not to notice

the tears streaming down your face.


This is the last time I let you hold me.
