Safety
by April Ardis Anderson

I saw you in my father's face the other day When he yelled at me and pleaded that I Believe in the christian god. Don't you laugh Or raise that bushy brow! This is serious... I came running here and embraced your soft Velvet stomach "A Cancer's comfort zone," spake the Zodiac. Kisses minced with tears drowned your navel. But why did I see you? Your deep brown eyes in their sweetest of daydreams Peering beyond the blunt visage of my father? Safety, I guess, safety-- You have stolen my father's throne. |
