a memory

I remember the smell of almond tea
  brewing on the stove
in the quiet of a quiet winter night
  and sitting with you, mother,
on the couch with the yellow flowers
  and looking out into the darkness
and feeling warm and feeling safe.

I remember whispering in order
  not to wake my father
sleeping in the bedroom down the hall
  with the door closed, mother,
and leaning in to hear you,
  huddled close, I would breathe in the
scent of your perfume
  and I felt safe.

tell me what you think. honestly.
