Joy
Across the table from me
she squeals while he explains the rules
one more time
which work to her advantage.
Her sister rolls her eyes.
Cards fly,
groans erupt,
laughter spills over
and I light with a feeling i haven’t had
since they all left a month ago.
I am grateful for this moment in time,
all of them safely here with me at last.
