Like the knight of sleeping beauty,
He slashes through my heart.
Tearing down my courage,
Shattering my resolve like a wine glass.
...
When the bushes of our father's land
Lay uncut
And we waddled about with newly weaned feet,
A hand sweated with a ferocious pen,
...
His back is bent,
His heart, battered with guilt,
Red seal of sin,
Lay bare on his torn flesh.
