Round

Round

 

 

sparse implosion

on the outside,

cheeks turn rose

fists clench,

she's gone

 

and on the inside

i am in the corner

pleading for them

to stop the fight.

The boxing allegory seems so appropriate here Jacob. Rounds and rounds of sparring with the child cowering in a corner until the bell and the 'loser' leaves the ring, defeated.

This reminds me of the fights my parents had when I was young. Horrible stuff. If I could do life all over again but had to go through that...forget it.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

don't blame you for that...for sure.
thanks for sharing, Relic.'
