The father's hand to the face
was the last breaking point
and she ran
out of the house
into the evening
becoming night
to the boat
sitting on the dark
silent water
She would paddle
across in the
dark of night
away from the hands
that scar
away from the words
that burn
like the candles on her grave
surrounded by the sunflowers
her father has planted
