Dad

by Andrea Colton

Teeter
Totter.
Give me all your fucking
wasted years.

The epitome of a life
-unwanted-
I’ve never known so clear.

And you plow
into me. Your daughter,
your adversary.

I am nothing to you

but hate
breeding rapidly
in the heat of your teeth.

And all there is…?
Is all there is.
A mark.
An asphyxiated sigh.

Inhale
Inhale
Inhale



And I implode.

The choreography of poetry; an effective flex of affective tissue as I hold your breath...

An asphyxiated sigh. Now that's a thought that's going to stick in my mind forever.
