HER
Passion fails;
Love hurts;
Desires explode;
All on the field-
Her body!
She cries from intimacy,
she cries from heart ache,
the first, sweet,
but a whole mixture
of painful pleasures.
No shame lies beneath-
This open pride.
UNSPOKEN
UNSPOKEN
We are murdered
not by the things we said,
but by words unuttered.
Wild darts on the chest
crafted by greedy “M.”
The scars on the face
like the map of a country
burdened by guilt and regret.
The heavy band on her finger
tells her to push further.
“for better for worse,”
Wasn’t that the vow?
The daily dose of slaps,
accompanied by blows,
the constant song of “useless woman,”
do not warn her.
She dies slowly,
not for what she said
but what she didn’t.
