Right now
he is yelling
at
his father
me
His voice
loud
shrill
His little face
flushed with his anger
His curls
bounce crazily
around his head.
He threw a
kiddie chair
because
he was mad
at
me
Mad because
I said
leftovers were for supper
Mad because
I won't let him
bounce
on
the
bed.
He's only five.
His future lays
before me
dark
and
rage-filled
All
my
fault.
I am the mother.
Who can't
seem to teach him
about his
aNGeR.
I don't even understand my own.

Hi! Thank you for the visit! Grab a plate and a sweet tea and let's dig in. It may take a while, but I always try to reply and return visits.
