A Giant Mom
Laijon Liu 20180323
She’s got Audrey Hepburn’s
eyes
of expressive, naïve
and intelligent
she sits behind my
working desk
for half year we’ve
happily conversed
Yesterday 3pm, she
suddenly gurgled
a choking sound- she
opened her mouth
wide like she
wanted to scream or to breathe
no sound came out
of her throat, only drool
she collapsed on
the floor, her eyes
wide open, bulging
eyeballs like of dead fish
her arms and legs twitching,
trying to climb up
to stand, to lean against
the wall, so I pushed her
her world continually
spinning, the wall
like a cliff, the
gusts blew and blew in her brain
like a kite she
dangled, hanging on a string
her shaking arms
wrapped around me, her cold hands
a minute seemed a
lifetime, two minutes was eternity
one quake after
another, another within two hours
like a withered
flower she drooped in her chair
5pm, she walked to
pick up her 5yr old daughter
