Claws

Nail “Art” at the 2nd Street Walmart in Reno, Nevada. Tuesday, 8 July 2014.

What should have been art

Becomes the stuff of nightmares:

Our narcissism.

His Legacy

Called his daughter whore.

Nightmares become memory

As she wakes in sweat.

Nightmares awaken her

And you comfort and hold her –

She blesses the pain.
