Dirty Memories
Chubby little fingers grip a wooden banister
He leads her toward a strange basement
She is scared
And for good reason
–
They reach the bottom and he takes her aside
This is where it happens
Again
–
Her young mind can’t wrap itself around this
And for good reason
No three-year-old should understand this
But she will one day
–
He finishes
And leads her back upstairs
She does what she is told
She follows
He is her dad, after all
–
He takes her to the pony rides on the way home
This will wash the dirty memories away
That’s what he thinks, at least
–
But he is wrong
I will always have the dirty memories
–
