Mummy ,I heard someone cry in my dream
She was a woman and a lump left her forehead threatening to block my eyes
Mother ,I dreamt the woman wailing was just like you.
And mum, what's this on your face?
A bandage, mummy why do you look away?
What,are mumps mocking my mama?
And so sad she's so silent
Like the woman in my night.
I saw father faint and fall by the freezer
A kitchen knife rise like a kite
And his scream scared me
The you scooched and skid off
Mama
Where's papa?Was he the one in my dream?
Why are the chairs cheerless and charmless?
Mummy
love-you/">I love you without that look on your face
Mama
Don't make papa plead
Please don't bleed mommy.
I don't want dreams
I want you with Papa and I
I want us to laugh
Yes, and lollipop!
Mummy's Mumps
