Thanks
to
Overnight
Campouts
Years
Spent
Protecting
the
Innocence
of
Youth
Praying
Together
Absently
In the
Firestorms
of
A Life
Lived
Unaware
of
Unseen,
Felt
Barriers

The
Little
Boy
Squeals
Happily
In
His Daddy’s
Arms
As
He
Is escorted
Into
The court
Room
In chains
Playing
In
The park
Gleefully
With
His
Mom
He
Leans
Forward
In orange
And
Speaks
Into
The
Microphone
Answering,
Unreachable

Yesterday
Passed
Again
Today
Reminding
Me
Of
Past
Paths
Not
Taken
Thinking
Today
A
Past
Changed
Makes
The
Present
More
Perfect

Darkness
Everywhere
As
Voices
Scream
Inside
His
Head
Breaking
Hearts
And
Minds,
Seeking
Family,
Unable
To
Part
The
Curtains;
Yet
I see,
Praying
For him
And
Trusting
In Him

Confusion,
Not mine:
The Others’,
Not mine,
Anger

Confusion
Anger

Not

Cheeks
Flex,
Lips
Parse,
Sitting
Silently
Blinking
Eyes
As
Hands
Wring
And
The Other
Sits
Silently,
Watching
The listless
Dead

Loud
Screams
Directed
At
The Other
Do
Not
Change
Truth;
Murtnat
Is
As
Real
As the
Spewed
Nonsense

Gray
Eyes
Dulled
With
Her
Warm
Heart
Trapped
Inside
The
Moment,
Crying
For
Peace
Of
Soul
Yet
Still
Misunderstanding
The
Present
