I imagine a full blown fight.
You with your 4 inches looking down on her.
YOU are the head if this household.
"ALRIGHT!" is the only real yell I've heard.
Yet I would imagine that you've been saying worse things than you yell.
Your bark is worse than your bite.
After you scare my mother
You touch me with your angry hands
Draining love into me after I pull away.
You want to be the father you never had
But I just want to escape.
I almost want you to scream at me.
I want a reason to leave.
I want your cold religion banished.
I want my beliefs proven.
The afterbirth of your wrath is always so sad.
You apologize with your hands
But your apologies nauseate me.
Sometimes your anger comes through hard eyes and assured arguments.
You scold me for nothing I did
and remain oblivious to the rebellions I conspire.
 You've lost all your eyelashes.
Those soft protectors have fallen out and now your eyes are wet stones looking down. Their blue fades like a cloudless day with an anticlimactic end.
The skin around your nose is angry, as if to warn off potential kisses.
And the teeth in your mouth grow further apart like the spaces between love and me.
I can't help but grow cold when your skin is so impenetrable, your ideas so infallible, and your shoes so practical. If one shoe differs, then both must be thrown out.
At your end I'll whisper appreciation in your ears and wet the top of your head with my tears so your hair turns black. I'll wish I had loved you more. But in this Paleozoic era of my evolution, I'll scream shorn truths into my hands. I'll let kudzu invade my mind. And I'll keep my mouth shut like a daughter should.
