The Rainbow Balloons Man


Soaked from the rain,
tears brimming in her eyes,
she knocks on his door.
He invites her in,
asking nothing because he knows
she needs mental rest.
Taking an offered towel,
she unexpectedly tells him,
He didn't come back.
Who?
The rainbow balloons man,
she yells out. My folks promised
he would come back.
In the back of his mind, he thinks,
Again, this decades-old broken promise!
Nettled by his unresponsiveness,
she asks, Didn’t your folks promise you anything
when you were a child?
My parents are war survivors;
so I never asked anything from them.
Oh, you're second generation.
We're all second generation of something. Anyway,
don't worry! He'll be come back.
Who?
The rainbow balloons man. I promise.
