Barely Acknowledged

She barely acknowledged him.

She only thanked him in a clipped tone
and pulled her away.

She pulled back.
She stood stout,
her fingers searching for his
and finding them.

She ignored that.
She only looked at her.
Not at him.

He didn't want her acknowledgement anyway.

But if she didn't see him as a son
then, in her eyes,
he also wasn't wrong.

It was amusing, that the one person to accept them
would be like this

But they were beyond caring now.
He was beyond caring now.
