Nature abhors a bully, so
the gal calls her cop father.
Doors break down, a crowd
in the parlor, evidence taken.
Yellowed clippings on the wall
tell it over and over, but there
is a corpus delicti.
The beautiful room is empty
but it cannot stand.
No cop wants his daughter
to know the bully eludes him
as if- a fugitive might decide
on which side of a girl's
walled heart to hide.
The bully runs out the back
when the law blusters in.
Follow their slander downward,
go past Father's useless notes.
To the second threshold
and outside, where a geometry
of light through the trees
joins you to me.
