Parental Tsunami

 Oh, there you are my brother.

 it is only father and mother.

 in one of their weekly

    tsunami

 of marital conflicts.

 may I hide with you before 

 it breaks down this bathroom door?

 I wish not to be overcome

    by the energies 

 of our parent's memories.

 aye! Am here too

 to hide

from their chide.

 what could it be about?

 oh how Mama can shout!

 As we lay here

 low beneath the waters

 together

 this storm we weather.
