My Father Wrote Me Poems

In my mothers womb I heard a voice talk Unlike other infants And to my mothers wrath, It was my father sharing Many of his thoughts.

Ludicrous Painting

There must be a reason for her to take my place ruin the memory Scar the face He still loves me. Ludicrous painting My father fathering her.
