When I Saw My Daughter On The Floor
The living room looked staged.
Beige furniture. Expensive art. Nothing out of place.
Like a showroom designed to hide everything real.
My son-in-law stood by the fireplace.
Pale.
Hands shoved in his pockets.
Eyes locked on the rug.
He didn’t greet me.
He didn’t ask why I was there.
He didn’t act confused.
