Screams the
color of blue-black seas
Rise out of
my belly
Bang against
clenched teeth
I sway
side-to-side
Images crowd
my vision
In the worm
of my mother’s fears
She abandons
me a four-year child
To the frost
of another’s hatred
And the need
of my father
To not know
To not know
As he stared
ahead
Never into
my eyes
Which held
more need
Than he
could fill
Forgive her
Forgive him
Forgive them
But what
about the baby
Who will
hold the baby
And rock
away lullaby
The
blue-black screams
