From Where I Lay
I lay flat on my belly, breathing slowly, quietly, so that no one might find me. Hiding my face in cupped hands against the carpet any time it comes too quickly. I can’t risk the dust ruffle swaying now that it has stilled. I now realize it was a mistake to roll onto my belly because I cannot shift over to my back. At least I can see out the window through the crack in the bedding and the wall. Birds sit on the line that buzzes day and night. A bright red cardinal with black-rimmed eyes stared coldly into the sky. Next to it is a blue jay, with its haughty crest, and mocking calls.

Sacrificial Lamb
What makes a child sacrifice worthy? Speed, grace, smarts, competency? I guess in this respect my lot in life was earned not picked for me. For it wouldn’t be a fair trade without some gift of quality. How many children are just their parents’ pocket change, their backup chip for bargaining? Since they themselves have done little, and make no attempts to raise themselves in dignity.
