Analysis of Amelia
“Don’t you see?”
she says to me,
“Can’t you look?”
as she points her finger.
No, I don’t see,
I can’t look,
there is nothing
hidden there.
But wait,
my eyes do stray,
tired of looking away,
and yes, it is there.
Painful agony that,
my realization,
poor child you were right,
there was reason enough to fight.
