Inner Woman -
My Room
the wood panels
go halfway up the wall
pale yellow wallpaper
up to the top
the desk
the night table
the shelves
are pine
a big box in the
corner
holds the Legos
the only light
in my darkness
is the ceiling light
i’m only five can’t read
yet
i peek outside
streetlamps
the moon, the stars
i cannot sleep
He might come in
He hasn’t yet
He isn’t here
mom and dad are asleep
i click the switch
i dump the Legos
on the floor
like all the other nights
build and smash
i destroy His face
build and smash
my hurt leaks out
i never told what He
did, just build and
smash until
the void is filled
i am alive
my hands are bruised
but He is gone
until the night
i hear the alarm
quick clean up the blocks
turn off the light
before dad stirs
and when he checks
i feign a dream
dad strokes my head
love fights fear
He isn’t here
