Word Rape

 
Day or night
the words burst in
unwelcome guests
circling cocksure
to strip time bare
with fresh blood arrogance
their heroin
screaming sex without love

For them
it's never enough
Not a moment's silence
to let me forget
the clocks are crushed
and I am their cheapest whore
tamed and bound to serve
a slave on their language bed

They grind out syntax
thesaurus whirling
in gritty robotic thrusts
wresting phrases scrawled from sweat
to seed my breasts
with breathless metaphor
and finish
on a grunt of blind salt

And you say
you want to write!
