Sound of a Hammer

by Richard L. Provencher  
6/16/2011 / Family

No good, troubled they said.
Unwanted
blond blue-eyed boy
from one foster home to
another,
adopted into the
moment of our
lives. Trying to stop his lying
and stealing

Group homes, Training
Schools, Westmoreland Prison
then Springhill Pen, he
survived them all and
back again.
Dangerous they
said when he was just a kid,
Hide your rifles, he may
hammer someone.

Now tired eyes are staring
through vertical bars,
hands clasped together.
The only noises in his early
morning cell, cracking
knuckles. The
only hammer around, a
pounding heartbeat.
