Shiny black pigtails and a pouty ribboned mouth eye the house
Small hands, waving from the backseat window of the car, slow and sullen
Her world shrinks in the distance as the car pulls away and gets farther and farther
Blinkless and clamped on this image, her tear shaped eyes remain fixed , until erased from view
She goes back to sitting forward in her seat, and mechanically buckles her belt
She says hello to the black hooded feeling she didn't see before,
and without an introduction he reminds her that things will never be the same.
