Daddy's Rainbows MAG
There is a woman upstairs in my house,
and her jaundiced limbs are twisted with the
polka-dot bedsheets and she is going quietly
away from me without even a goodbye.
There is a child on the stairs in my house,
breathing the minutes away.
Her fingers are tangled in the railing ribs
and she is humming a song to drown out the silence.
There is a man downstairs in my house,
and he sees death as soft and gray and warm
and safe. His world is candy corn and clowns
and he lives there alone.
All I want to do is shake him
'til the rainbows spill out on the floor.
