Never Compromise
I look at the inkblot.
pretending it looks like
a flower,
a delicate rose
with wrinkled petals
but it doesn’t.
looks more like a dead rat,
maggots writhing over flesh,
burrowing away from the light.
But in the end,
it is simply a picture
of empty meaningless blackness.
Mother loves a man she has every reason to hate.
bruised arms wrap around bruised skin
“We could leave.”
another breath forgives him
escape is impossible,
like oxygen becoming iron
“I will never make your mistake.”
Our home is full of blood, but
when the windows finally scab over,
the vermin will drown.
The accumulated filth
will foam up.
Father and Mother
will look up and shout
"Save Us!"
I'll look down, and whisper,
"No"

the reason for which I first noticed in you.
And later I found your personality equally pleasing.
I also noted your chest to waist ratio is suitable for birthing.
Therefore, I think you should live in my house.
