...Our marriage was a sham,

The basement of my childhood
...One day, he called her a dog,
Slapped her with a ruler,
And watched as she sobbed.
Sometimes, he’d smile,

He’d go and pat her head
But later, he would yell because he’d wi...

We humans wept for the revival
Nothing nor time can be at arrival
