The Black Scarf

Early morning in one
Mother take a bus ride to the city
Blank by its aim
No one knows why. 

She cried as she goes back at two
But I could swear
Her black handkerchief was on her head. 

Her children went around her
To comfort her
There was only sob and deep breath
That I could hear. 

Almost dusk, we take our supper
Then sleep to bed.
