CONTRADICTIONS #poetry by jay

in

Stereotyped into your forehead
the rage—the anger

your mouth sealed shut 
frozen/ unbirthed
a still-born moment

a child caught 
between
a glance unnoted

between
a mother/ a father
disputes unfolded

the truth revealed
contradictions emboldened.

    Nice piece of writing, something that happens in real life all the time, sad but true. Have a blessed day, Joni
