Poetic Interludes 7: The Little Girl in a Red Slicker
Written by Redell
Adena,
Adena,
Where have you gone?
(i speak for you)
A smile? A
whisper?
Have they missed
the sign
Washed over
in rain
(cries never heard)
In blood
In time
Dreaming of you
Believing that you,
were brutalized
(i wanna believe, *i* did all i could)
By Tucker
Hoping you
could be saved
by Bayliss
Needed to be avenged
Kept alive still
in these waking thoughts
I have
for your soul
(i wanna know i helped)
Wishing to see you rise from
darkness, to hear
you laugh,
your mother's joy
To lift the
sorrow
from a detective's
heart
(i'm so very sorry! i have forsaken you!)
Adena,
Adena.
Where have you gone?
