Fgy Problem

What is that whip?

Why is it more than a few seconds to me-

when I couldn't even breathe,

or figure it was peace?

Not a warning,

or a lullaby for my baby,
or hers?

What is that whip?

How come I don't recognize a thing!?

It's so enveloping-

so enduring,

yet not hearing?

Not swearing?

I know she makes me swear-

make's me wild,

but I have no denial,

i'm a beast of a child,

don't know where to beguile.
