Family Reunion

Breast beat for her I doubt you fathom crude Understand thus gravitas of thy actions true This must entrust you knot the thread bear Bang thy drum roll knees follow you we share Needless pain inflicted as I stroked with care Her matted scarlet hair with matter of brain Perplexing color change in the pale moonlight Beautiful hue takes in the darkness her pain Away screams spray echo into abyssal night Hum melody slip steel mouth cuff gurgles dove Grip tightens her limbs flail her veins permeate She was suffering for I had no words to say Kept humming her song lullaby my girl to sleep That day her pig father laid her to rest himself His actions lead to child that could not see day For both sake wrench four eyes closed mistake Moment of pause I sees my babies levees Her leg twitching as the wetness dry to ice Lids to never see me or I past this fight To never see us Disgusting family Grasp her hair hand balls in fist Then release to comb again My own rivers descend Know I loved you and with care my dear I made your scarlet necklace Leans in lips quiver kiss forehead Stares into distance as if she sees something Long stare as the frame pans out slowly Silence waves churning Lifts a flicker of silver to temple a hymn Explosion quick flash but echo thunder Dropping onto daughter their eyes glazed film See each other forever as dusts flesh to bone Beach of sands paths end by a mother’s hand Granules teardrops stop four snuffed lives drop To run laugh play hug and breathe nevermore
