Five days later, your dad,
your mum, even your siblings —
they all ate, with joy.
Your family slowly forgot.
They gently returned
to their normal lives,
like a lost chicken
finding its way home.
Your organs turned to liquid,
no longer holding hope—
hope of you returning.
Your body changed color,
like your favorite fruit leaf—red!
It shifted slowly
from green to red. It did.
Did you also notice?
Did you see the changes?
Did you see how your body
turned to your favorite color: Red.
