My Father's Fault
How can I not always sleep
In comfort
Until the crow of the cock?
How can I always sleep
And be half-awake, yet
Not caressed by the cane's crack?
How can I always jump up
From sleep so sweet
Not reaching in pain for my bare back?
But wait...!
How can I not?
Isn't she my father's fault?
