I loved the line "I knew Doris Holbrook would escape her father at noon." In that poem it was about running away together, but what if it wasn't?
I knew Doris Holbrook
would escape her father at noon.
So I grabbed my coat
and ran.
Fleeing to the border,
she'd find me one day.
The reminder of her face, distorted
in anger, curled up to reveal the devil,
flashes with a scream through my mind.
He can't keep her locked
forever.
