|
....living
on the second floor.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
He would
read his paper,
while she cooked.
|
|
|
 |
|
It all changed
when she got pregnant.
|
|
|
 |
He started
buying her flowers.
And he cooked
for her.
|
|
|
 |
He didn't
seem to notice,
that she slowly
changed.
|
|
|
 |
She was silent.
And became ill.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
She came
back with a present.
A birdhouse,
and a card that said 'sorry'.
|
|
|
 |
|
He realized
what she had done.
|
|
|
 |
He became
withdrawn,
and too nervous
to go out.
|
|
|
 |
He was scared
on the street
and in supermarkets.
|
|
|
 |
he only left
the house
to buy plants
for his balcony.
|
|
|
 |
Only one
person didn't scare him....
The neighbour's
little daughter
|
|
|
 |
Looking through
the window,
as he watered
his plants.
|
|
|
 |
He placed
things with the flowers.
Especially for
her.
|
|
|
 |
Garden gnomes,
a little bird,
....and a plastic
duck.
|
|
|
|
He built
a garden on the roof.
And photographed
every flower.
|
|
|
 |
And when
the weather turned,
and all his flowers
died....
|
|
|
|
He collected
the seeds.
And covered all
his plants....
|
|
|
 |
....to help
them through
cold winter months.
