Too sad to say what lies beneath
Her smile a customary coat
Covering sundry hidden hurts
...
Childhood sees between the cracks
Blocks of lies the adults plant
Distracting people from their deeds
...
Concentric circles spinning to central rage
fomented and fed with every glance
Hostile bigotry condemning
without cause.
...
dangerous mould invading terrain
not his but stolen
sequestered acquired for gain
...
smash the chains that bind my life
steal my thoughts
I’m not your wife!

GROOMING
‘I think you’re pretty, little girl
and I’d be friends with you

SILENT SCREAM WITHIN
Looking, checking, waiting, void
Silent scream within
...
WAITING FOR AEONS
tears on window-pane
unrelenting mocking
