the house sparkles
food looks yum
her back aches
but who cares?
She sweeps the backyard
the cracker-ash strewn all over
reminds her
of a creative spark
she had with words and paints
but who cares?
Primariness matters
In creative choice
But who decides?

Indeed! No one cares and she does not have the liberty to decide. Well said.

I felt the yearning in these lines, Reena, which remind me of my mother:
‘the cracker-ash strewn all over
reminds her
of a creative spark
she had with words and paints’.
We care.
