When did my back become your ladder
My spine, the steps
My tan from the dirt wiped off from the bottom of your feet
When I yelled from the pain you did not look down
My tears were like water under a bridge
The thing about poetry is that it calms your thoughts
relating one thing to another without so much as a pause
because our brains work in mysterious ways
poetry tells us we don't have to be afraid
