Locked Out
I am locked out.
My hope is in a cage, no doubt.
My family is trapped.
On the other end of the phone, their energy sapped.
As I turn down that hall.
Filled with zombies, they stumble and fall.
My memories redacted.
Because of how I reacted.
To being turned to a teardrop.
That falls from my mother’s face onto the blacktop.
