Charade

Tucked in                among the                 chicken bones
                                                                frozen peas
                                        

        and silicone cradled                           bulging cubes of ice
        you think I’m blind to your secret
                 labeled in red

 

                I AM NOT

 perhaps 
         if you could hold your own        your delusion might play out

                but you ignore 
                         tell yourself fairy stories
                        so you can dive in sans conscious
                                you deny                       you black out the all too real fact

                THIS IS NOT MY FIRST RODEO

         continue to play this charade                with me as the losing team
         and it won’t be my wrath that welcomes you home

 

 

                        it will be a silent house
