At the defense attorney’s office, waiting while they revictimize my daughter..


Deposition

I’m sitting here in the waiting room:
Stained carpet rorschachs everywhere,
Abraham Lincoln staring off in thought,
and a painting of the lady in the red pumps—

Her arms are crossed in defiance;
Smokey haze and trash encroaching,
Aggressive pack of adversaries looming,
But her mind is set—

Determination holds her perilously upright
She sits poised, as royalty—

They will not break her today.
