A STUDY OF DOLLS, 1897, Stanley G. Hall & A. Caswell Lewis

[bostonpoetryslam]

“A pack of wild fathers combs the mountain at night crying like children. Many daughters gather for the hunt. They lie in the grass with nets and throwing stars. They pierce the predators who want the fathers for themselves. They lie in wait for the fathers, grief-roaming, until one breaks from the pack and leaves the others. A lone father is easier to catch. A lone father wants a daughter to find him.”

— Katie Schmid, “Daughter Psalms,” published in Quarterly West
