The silence between them echoes
The empty cries of our wounded existence:
“Deliver us from evil.”
We both look away,
But in that moment we both know
The deepest secrets of each other’s souls.

Seem to blend into the idyllic landscape—
But I know her truth.
I see the scars of each encounter
Muscles taut ready to flee,
Wide eyes constantly scanning the field,
Quivering nose searching the air
For the scent
Of the man who preys upon her.
Seem to blend into the idyllic landscape—
But I know her truth.
I see the scars of each encounter
Muscles taut ready to flee,
Wide eyes constantly scanning the field,
Quivering nose searching the air
For the scent
Of the man who preys upon her.
That "same" and "other"
Had created.
And so she wondered...
What shade of white should she paint it?
