morning barks
from a down-the-garden dog
a rat

just to let you know
I still feel the sting of what you did to me
even after all these years
and if there was a list
of people I could wish ill upon
you'd be near the top of mine.
It's astounding how the mind holds on
to these traumatic memories
when I can't remember my mother's face
except from a photograph.
