The mall is closed on Easter Sunday
They will call it a loss on their
taxes.
Only the security guards will be there
congratulating each other on their solitude.

Drunk on T.V. she sleeps hard
her loneliness hollows her
and dreams are viewed on distant stages,
the players talking in an unknown tongue.

Her daughter comes home & turns off the T.V.
"I am home", she says.
