Invisible

Memories I wish to forget

He never knew I saw him.
cccccI saw him.

I still see that little boy in my sleep
naked and choking
on his own tears


as my very own father
zips up his pants
cccccand throws the boy
cccccaway
like he's a worthless bag of rubbish.

And I,
cccccthe same age as the boy; only twelve
ran from my hiding spot
and ran
and ran
and ran
until a kind old lady found me
and took me home.

I never saw the boy again
but I'll never forget him.
