Daydream

Daydream

noise,
cacophony to be exact
destruction running rampant.

and I'm hoping
she burned down the house
in her fits of curiosity.
maybe the whole place is in flames,
wouldn’t that be fitting?
after all, we are damned.
and I'm thinking
maybe I could make it seem like an accident
blame it on the child.
she played with the lighter
I …
managed to save her,
but we …
lost the dog.
I'm sorry
but we
lost the dog.

cacophony.

and I'm thinking
she jumped through the window
some intruder stole her in the middle of the day
they left no word.
no word at all.
such a sick daydream
such a sick person.
