They had to tear down the building
They were cookin up the meth
They had to relocated the children

Despite the memories, to look at the pictures

they say

like the sharp clatter of fork and spoon and knife against each other
at dinners in our family.
a vase shattered to the floor last night
at an hour way past our bedtime.
