childhood, age 7

 

 

 

 

 
my other father,
louder than the first
but wrapped in quiet
skin,
could not echo
beyond this child's
seventh year.

    Evil genius for dumbies? haha I must have laughed for a week at that one just now. Nice poem it's always refreshing to read your work like taking a shot of whiskey, miss you stranger!

    This is telling. Almost reads like a confessional to those who know you. Well written, very well written, kate.
