Terror in my Eyes
you see it don’t you?
Running far but never near
No trust
to get close.
No
not anymore
I’m grown
and now you tell me
what I don’t wish to hear—
“my father” You speak quietly….
No thought, No time
Bellow as I may
I Feel --- for my father
Please,
Please tell me.
I want to know
Your stare gives me such blank thought
I scream, hot pepper in the face
Finally
she sighs
and
the lips mouth
the letters, forming words.
Y-y-your fathe-r-r
Swells begin
her eyes bleeding water
Then the soaked lips begin to move
has p-past-------
Blinking once
Blink twice.
Scattered leaves cluttering my brain
Now my eyes start to bleed
Bleeding all the same
as hers----
They race across my face
as I furiously round across the
door
towards the abyss of woods
before me
my
new
life
awaits
