Strong Threads


Do you see the house?
Do you see the light in the window?
Do you see the family at the dinner table?
Do you see the threads that tie you together?

Shelter, light, family, food.
These make strong bonds.
But they are not the strongest.

Shotgun Wedding

What’s left of the house
Is its address and sale price.
What threads family
Together is violence,
Guilt, and recrimination.
