in the dark
in my bed
by the wall
his tongue
my ear
his tongue
my mouth
his head
my thighs
wet silence
red blood
he enters
he fills me
my mouth
his breath
my face
his knife
I wait
in the dark
in my bed
By the wall

Thanks Debby. I need to be better about giving people a context to my work. I guess that’s what people mean when they say we never stop learning.

I sometimes forget the words carry emotion. When I write a poem I focus on the weight of the words and forget about the intention of the poem.

I woke up in a nation controlled by drunken rapists and spineless enablers; other than that I’m fine. 🙂

It’s all so frustrating. I feel as if I’m trapped in the environment of my childhood. That’s not good.
