My armour is useless
In this place I have

Everything I do
is open for sharp words
Everything you do
looks like reruns
of my childhood
I try and make myself small
but you always find me
I shapeshift
become a giant
but you can't tolerate me large
On the shifting scale of rightness
I am always wrong
And now
even in sleep
I can't escape
I dream of pursuit
I dream of being trapped in a loop
I feel every hard word

A back cross stitch of lack of security and...

Hurt

Water
When sheets of rain approached
Those southern summers
2 young girls, swimsuit clad,
Would play
Feet in the wet sand
Fingers guiding little rivulets
Relishing the splashing showers
Then when it passed
Mama met them on the porch
With towels and warmth and laughs and hugs
Water
Daddy built a cabin
Basic frame with plywood walls
2 lofts, wood stove in the center
