Daddy Short-legs
 

 

Little Voice's daddy eats horses, carrots, prayers and promises
his teeth glint in the blood of dawn
his gut rumbles with the cries of naughty little boys
 
Evenings go quickly
no one stirs from under him
except my eye my poor little eye
 
Little Voice dreams and plots
stacks up the guns that'll blow dad away

I'm about half way there with the meaning of this, love your wording and the sparisty of punctuation though 
 
give us a clue?

Love it! 
See comments on 'First Sadness'.

Liked this but I think the third line of the second stanza needs some work - didn't quite work for me as is. Apart from that very good.
