A Violence Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

A Violence



An innocent walked in the woods;
never heard the calls
or knew
of any fearful search.

But a father's seething fury
met her that day;
lashed out in a way
she had never before known.

Its pain
stung through decades;
the fear of unrestrained anger
warped the young seed

Welts beaten into flesh
eventually do heal,
but the scars remain
a lifetime in the soul.
