Mercy and Woe

May 18, 08
Chalked red spotted burns,

A leprosy contagious sin,
Cigarette burn hardens skin,
And candles down throats,
Choke.
Enticing open scarred necks.

Mercy abolished by the voice,
Slaver twisted in his love tales,
Heart beat against heart beat,
Unevenly pressed against chests,
Delicately,
Slivered by raking nails against back.

He didn’t penetrate, he made love,
She didn’t scream, but moaned,
She was beautiful in anything,
Cloaked in her purple risen shell,
Bruised,
Like too much make-up around eyes.

Still Seeing
