Silence

It's my turn to speak now.
And through me, you do speak; you roar,
Sweeping whirlwind panic through the cavity you
Carved out of what was already emptied.
How did you have the power to scourge what was barren?

So, I will say it. I am you, merely inverted.
Obsessive drive for completion
That forced you to risk all, for everyone has
something, a vestige of pride perhaps,
To lose, forced you unwillingly (?)
To be enslaved by a girl child's supple limbs,
Freckled cheeks, and fathomless ache for
A father who looked with such attention, he saw
Through her deep pined eyes into her thirst.
