Blame
The old woman repeated her question:
"Who are you?"
I tried to move my lips,
Tried to speak up,
Gesture with my hands-
Anything that would defend you
And keep you by my side.
But I was so, so
Scared.
My heart thumped in my chest
To an unsteady rhythm,
Making me struggle to catch my breath.
Finally, I managed to reply
"I-it wasn't her fault."
As I motioned to you with a shaking hand.
The woman continued to stare me down
And looked back and forth between
Me and you.
I waited anxiously
For her to decide our fate.
Back and forth,
Back and forth
She looked.
My heart rate sped up
When she opened her mouth
And a few words finally fell from her lips.
"I don't blame the girl."
She paused, then spoke again.
"I blame the young man who broke into my quarantine to free her."
