Mother and Father in BedA Poem by Elephant NosesWhat did you do? You told me to What have you done? You gave me the gun! It’s your fault, You taught me how! What on earth have you done? I shot them! They’re in bed! Go look for yourself Oh, Christ, what did you do? And there’s nothing to be done to change it. The baby wants her mother Oh, Christ, the baby! You forgot all about her! What have you done? The baby will be fine, put her in bed with her mother she loves her mother See how she clings to her mother’s breast even when no heartbeats’ blood make it warm? She loves her mother. Dead dead dead Oh see her crawl into their pool of blood? bang bang through the heart She loves her mother Mother loves father Shots through the heart Shots through the heart © 2010 Elephant NosesAuthor's Note
