Elefante.

It's always there in the room.
Staring at me.
Reminding me.

I threw a rainbow quilt over him so he would stop peering into my soul.
His eyes bore through nevertheless.

I took a machete to chop off his head.
Kill his memory once and for all.
"Get Out of My Head!"
But the blade slipped right through him.
Like a whisper...

I cut myself and my blood splashed across the wall.
"Now look at what you've done. Ha ha ha!"

It will heal. Time always heals wounds.

"Yes. But the scar remains forever."

Just like my elephant will remain forever.
I might just as well get used to it.
