PTSD - 3: Intermission

Wind washes me
dirty dirty
grandma said
you put panties on
when you sleep
or I'll tell your
mother

Rain washes me
dirty dirty
grandma said
those dolls have
no clothes and
look
you drew on
their dirty
parts now
I have to
tell your
mother

Fire washes me
dirty dirty
grandma said
look at that
drawing
I can see
that girl's chest
rip it up now
or I'll show
your mother.

Earth wash me clean
of their shame
show me where
to bury it.
