I was 4 and you 4 + 3.

Down in the basement you brought me to the washing machines.

Whish. Whish. A kiss. Kissing cousins.

Suddenly, clothes were off. I showed you mine and vice versa.

Funny what you’ll find during hide and seek.

On a pile of broken Barbie’s you pushed me down, told me not to speak.

20 years later, my silence deafens.
