Writing and Photography by Jeff E. Brown

No witnesses required.
It’s etched in my brain
All of the villainy that transpired.
There’s what you did, cold and precise,
And all that I saw,
With my unflinching eyes.
There’s always a price to pay
On the road we take,
Even as we struggle not to say
Those last damning words
The unintended
Testament to all of the buried hurt.
