The Echo of Your Voice


psychological stormtrooper

ideological executioner

my father fear


I ran from your home

long ago

yet I’ve found your kin

hiding in lover’s words

and fists

a few times since


(you multiply quickly)


How far must I yet go

to outrun

the echo of your voice

and the bruises that

yet bleed

within your prison

where I yet live

in my mind
