Hardscrabble
Eyes from past
Pierce from picturesBlack and white memories
Of time long ago
Hardscrabble images
Sad eyes of hope
dashedAngry eyes of control
Stare into my soul
Ill-fitting clothes
Hang upon skeleton
framesLost eyes of children
Carrying weight not theirs
Repetition of
generations
Whirlpool of cyclesVortex perpetually repeats
Sins of fathers
Other images tell
Different storiesSolidness of character
Eyes of hope, orphans no more
Image of grandfather
as a child and his family. His father died and the children ended up in an
orphanage and torn apart. Impact of trauma that can be broken free from, new
choices.
