Timex [Sibling Incest]

by Melissa Martin  
11/10/2011 / Self Help

The hands on her Timex watch
Stopped
On her thirteenth birthday.

The night a well-known stranger
Robbed her body:
of naivet,
of trust,
of security.
And instead left:
shame,
guilt,
confusion.

Her parent's dismissal of rape
As an act of boyhood exploration
Shattered her safe environment.

The stillness of her Timex
On future birthdays
Triggers soundless memories.

I choose healing.
I choose to live in the present.
I choose the time to heal. I choose now.

Melissa writes about the God and human connection and condition.
