Subject: After all these years

I sat alone with her for a few minutes,
while my dad went to the lav.
It was achingly quiet, both full, full up with thoughts,
and how to express them.
“I’m so sorry to see you in such trouble,
so very sorry, Agnes,”
“I know son, I know.” she said
I’d never called her by her name before. Never.
She stared at me with immense candour, absolutely guileless,
“We’re alright,” she said,
“look after him.”
She inclined her head towards my father.
“look after him, he’ll blame himself,
I wish he’d gone first.”
