I saw her, once
while everyone
was sleeping
the indifference
about
made her feel
safe
“Show, don’t
tell,” I said
and laughed at
the irony
she wasn’t amused
after a
lifetime of keeping
the pictures in
my head
from the words in
my
mouth
so in silence
we stood
the victim and
her warden
the baton in my
hand
another girl imprisoned
by doubt
