A stylish cabinet
Few curious have opened
Though it’s not kept locked…
Full of shadows, secret things
Which temptation might reveal
Hidden depths of heart
Many mem’ries are dusty
Lacquer wearing thin…
Time lacking luster
Light fades, life resolves

Mind is laden…ghost forest
Is shiny like blisters tonight
Oozing yesterday’s rain…
The vanishing shadows will
Scatter again–they always do
They must–but this night
They are mingled mutely…
In sweat-drenched bed I
Visualize my hand tossing
Pebble after pebble, hitting
Each face that lurches
Toward me…
I long to empty the forest
Hear the unforgiven, and
Unforgiving alike
Gasping last gasp…leaving me
Free, in God’s merciful peace

ooo
Her face was an axe
(Voice, words the handle)
Kept next to vast invisible
Pile of secretive stones
Always at the ready
To hurl at the child…
Her raging roots, habits
Would brim over
Simmering
Salty caustic
From shadows
In her mind—
Maternal weapons
Wielded until
Child was chopped
Pocked to oozing pulp
Nothing left but mere
Trickle of small soul’s
Ravaged identity
