In the Flesh

Daddy fixed the hole in the wall
like he said he would
But every time he does so,
New holes appear in the wall
Strangely, I find myself drawn
to them
Each day,
I see a new image
But oddly,
I see green grass, lovely flowers,
and all things beautiful
I thought the outside was
suppose to be harsh and evil
Everything looks so...
So...
Perfect
Why did daddy lie to me?
Then,
I see something or someone
staring back at me
Am I dreaming?
I reach forward through the
hole and poke them in the cheek
Warm flesh
Just like mine
"Hey!" they said
"Why did you do that for?
I grew startled
Should I answer?
