She walks across the ticket hall<\/span><\/div>\n
draped in black, clutching a framed photograph<\/span><\/div>\n
Llke a shield.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The son who  <\/span>never came home<\/span><\/div>\n
smiles at strangers as if from a window<\/span><\/div>\n
shut in her heart.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She ascends to the light,<\/span><\/div>\n
bearing her mausoleum of silence,<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
She imagines fingers unhinging,<\/span><\/div>\n
selecting a spoon.<\/span><\/div>\n
The injustice of stirring tea.  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
