There was a Lockbox

The Words I was Fed

by Helen Robertson

I don’t know how to mark
Where I was cracked —
How to name that emotion
Leaking between my legs.

I know the [what]
Have a theory of [why]
But that question of action
Escapes my stasis.

Yet I seek meaning;
Reason the cause
And so remember —
Out the back under the stairs

There was a lockbox.
And I can not tell you
What part of me
Has been tucked away.
