The dynamics of my childhood played out before me and brightened like a circle in my mind.
Mother, Father, Daughter
Father; misplaced, forgotten, besotten, lost in the wild
Mother; heartbroken, savage from living int he wild
Daughter; unwhole, yearning, running, screaming and shaking in fright of the wild.
We are still animals, hurt by the viciousness of the attack.
Overwhelmed by the stakes, frought with anxiety and terrified of ourselves.
