House of Rue

Rochelle Lynn Holt

Thick pall of heavy questions blankets mind
after tired body leaves House of Rue
to ponder poison in letters.

Like a slave, she’d done her best to woo:
bending, crawling to clean with crooked spine
to please both Mother and brother,

only to be recipient of unkind
written and spoken words hurt her
like surprise cannons out of the blue.

What could explain such behavior,
much farsighted and ruinous view,
like breeze transforms into a monsoon wind?

What makes anger rise from crew of two
that must have festered under burr
while blind visitor kept peeling orange rind?

Subservient, even demure,
visitor intended to lift sad pine
scent from branches of woe hanging low

like thick pull of questions blanketing minds.
Tired body away from House of Rue
ponders the poison in letters.
