Father Does Not Know
Father does not know
-
She was swimming for an oasis
struggling with waves after waves.
The desert storm always tumbles
her thoughts’ relative perspectives.
She can feel the storm, inside, within;
the way she can feel the touches,
the greed and threat. She cannot tell
any friend, these chronicles
as if some secrets, are binding her
with this man, she likes to hate.
He has threatened to kill her pet,
with violence; hence, she’ll be mute,
she’ll be silent. Only night knows
her nightmares, her waking up.
Irony is; her father thinks
that this man must be his best friend.
