she smiled
after all
it had been
years
since she had cried
but years since he
had smiled at her
granny shmarleton squirt the windex on her dead husbands
framed picture
and wiped the drips
away
squeak squeak
she could hear the children playing outside
today
it annoyed her
today
she wished she could run with them
today
she wanted
to be free
she pulled aside the curtains
to glare at the kids
playing soccer
outside
one slip
and the ball flew across her neighbors yard
over her fence
and toward her surprised face
she barely had time to duck
the window shattered
the ball hit her husbands picture
the glass cracked
silence
her face came up
looking through the window
wanting to yell
she opened her mouth
but when she looked
all the kids were running away looking
well, terrified
granny couldn't help but frown at her cracked husband
he frowned back.
