crouched behind the couch
made small and scared
she curls into arms
unseen
the dust settles and paints her skin a sickly grey
fear frozen eyes lock on the point where the carpet meets the wall
blocks away her classmate settles down for family dinner
a boy kicks a red ball against a school - again and again -
a car backfires and in their new home two lovers dance
