+Abortion III

+
+***
+
+I'm not good at math, Father. Help me calculate.
+How many rainbow trinkets you give me will equate
+acknowledgement of the trauma
+you pressed into my psyche
+and a sincere non-prompted apology?
+How many gifts until the pain is reparate?
+
+Will it take long to punch the numbers in?
+I'll wait.
