It's a rip tide
a whirlwind
A typhoon
Ready to swallow us whole
Chew us raw
Then spit Suki and I
Back out
Into the harsh bitterness
Of reality.
Father leaves us
Says we'll be spending
The entire day with mum
And I don't know if I'll be able
to stop myself from exploding
In anger or excitement, I'm unsure
But I just want to curl
Into myself
And hide
From
Her
She beams at us and I flinch
She brings us into her kitchen
And sits us on the granite counter
Before asking if we want some food
Suki and I shake our heads timidly
N o
I think,
Eating
Laughing
And enjoying myself
I do not feel comfortable
doing them around people
Who have shattered my trust
