When I walk in

When I walk past the door
I go in and see a girl
she is about four
starting to uncurl
from the position she was in
she was in there crying said that a guy hurt her said his name was Ben
said her vision now was a blur
said this happened once again

when I walk in the door there was a 4 year old girl
pretty as a pearl
with a black eye
she started to tell a lie
about how she got it, when and where
she told me softly do not stare

When I walked in the room
she had cuts all over her back
her daddy hit her with a belt and broom
she was hunched over like a sack
there was no turning back

The day care called child care
to report the unknown incident
which was coincident
with what the neighbor said
