a mama cockroach's perspective

by terri - Not entered

Daylight exploded
Frozen motion
Splitsecon heartbeat - stopped
Time fluid and endless
Our children are poisoned
Day by day
We watch in anger
Only to scurry back to our darkness
But we will be here
When you are gone

Reason for writing:

    on walking into the kitchen at night and seeing scurrying creatures.
