Image result for poor family drinking tea 1930s

The blue is missing from the sky today
the trees have no leaves
outside it is very cold
the wind is cruel.
there is a person
in front of me
i don’t know who it is.
I remember playing out
with my sisters 
on a skipping rop
e,
playing hop-scotch
on the pavement.

It is cold inside too,
that lady told me it is morning,
maybe that is why I stretch and yawn
like a cat, I like cats.
The lady says I have a visitor
i am frightened to ask:
‘What is a visitor?
The world outside is very big
and it looks very unfriendly to me.
I remember when everything was nice
and we had tea together.
I wonder if i am asleep,
this is not my home,
why an I alone?
