snitch, snatch

"Is there anything else?"

Aunt Eevie smiles at me,
it's a patient smile and it tells me

that she knows.

She knows there's more.


And for a second
my breath 
                            hitches.

My lungs flutter in my ribcage
in an effort to let the words out-

Yes! Yes! Yes! 
There's so much more I need to say,
she's whispered so many things into my ears,
there've been so many times she's made me feel unsafe,

I don't know if she loves me or hates me.
I miss you, and Zaina and even Miho.

Please save me.

But I-
My words die, drown themselves in my throat.
I clamp my mouth shut 

and Orsai's voice echoes in my head:


"You're such a snitch, you've said enough."
