she walks around the house she watches her son she walks around the house blocking the light all around she doesn't see the sun, nor clouds boxed in a corner without love boxed in a life without sight boxed in a marriage without light she beats her son she apologizes she abandones her son she melts in the walls she disappears into the corners shadows avoid her shapes and sounds invisible to the world she curses her life and calls out in tears and flames for an answer to why she married this one a little girl really she just needs some love she needs to be held like a woman but their customs don't know love trapped in a life trapped in a body trapped in a world she runs away in her mind she vanishes in the night to the wisest of the stars her tears fall for the flight of compassion I beg you to stop your beating beating son, beating mind, beating life I beg you to hold your heart and find your light I offer you a flame I offer you a stick I offer you a pen Break free of your darkness and come into the light You will see again And you will fly. |
