Daddy #2
by

Janet Caldwell

< The role of stepfather must always be difficult because it places men in a position of parental authority but without that natural bond of love most of us feel for our biological children. Thus the acquired family must sometimes be more trying than one might find one's own children. To fulfil that role well must require a very special man. Janet's No. 2 Daddy was not such a man.

Daddy #2

I Remember him
Glassy blue eyes
Fingertips brown
Black greasy hair
Forehead high
Child killer
Sick bastard

I Remember me
Scuttling like a rat
Running from a cat
Scattering across the tile
Like a roach on fire
When the lights came on
better scatter, Daddy's home!

I Remember (seances)
Straddling his head
The Shoulders so high
Calling up the dead
Peering in the sky
Let the dead arise
It'll stop Daddy's cries

I Remember Abuse
Dancing to the belt
That beat me blue
Decorated with welts
Daddy
I Remember You
