The home coming

She sits there in the darkness
Waiting for her husband's return

She feigns sleep, lest her mother chides her
Waiting for her father's return

She paces the floors looking at the clock on the wall
Waiting for her son's return

Out there under the moonlight
As the breeze blow
The leaves brush with each other
Whispering to each other of the man
Who lays on the ground
Devoid of life.
