Tears of grief etch the sky with starlit fireworks icy pain rips apart a child's heart to see his mother fall the arms that carried him on a bony hip up stairs, cover bruising face. The fingers that wrote a valedictorian's speech turn black and blue the throat that sings the lullabies traded for song has finger marks around it. Seven year old eyes watch the pain swelling up inside the room- unable to get out. Two barefeet walk to the woman who slept with her arms around him when he had nightmares Amber eyes look up at the raining blows with wisdom beyond their sights "Daddy, I did the bad thing. Hit me too!" Reality strikes away the facade of beer bottles smashed in slivers on the floor Innocence wipes away the relief of rusty needles and dreamless sleep. Warm tears begin to fall like a into scraggly whispers and sorrow shades drunken eyes. Blazing fires in the sky fall to pieces in fiery tears. |
