Haley's Letter
Haley-girl... Restless are your eyes,
such sadness in the midst of them,
such longing for the truth of love
and real peace and the immediacy
of freedom and justice;
Retribution lies in your soul dear.
Who beat that out of you
sweet Haley? You're much too young,
I see the tear of a 50 year-old man
in your eyes dear.
The epitomy of hope lost,
never to be renewed again.
Shall you emancipate that hate
from your eyes Haley dear?
"I miss the naivete that once
shined sparkling and gleaming
like baby-browns are supposed to do
Haley..."
"I would do anything sweet dear
Haley to give that innocense back
to you. Now I sit behind cerulean
bars, far from the sea of independence..."
"...Forgive me Haley - so sweet you
were... Daddy didn't mean
to touch you like that; so unmerciful
I was."
Haley reads the squalor within
the sordid & diseased letter:
Whispers with hate on her breath,
"Tell it to the judge, you
filthy bastard."
