Bedraggled.....
“I miss you, all of you
the ups and downs
being spun around
dizzy with desire”....
it's heaviness
held high
above the
earth and clouds
raindrops
fall down
upon my
wake, unsteady
drenching
my long
black strands
of hair
clothes wet,
saturated skin
make up runs
the lines on my face
as if it were
the last mile
of a great escape
"help...."
walking
past the multitudes
that see me
yet not see me
in silent shame
my swollen nipples
on battered breast
protrude against the
soaked fabric,
skirt tattered
panties torn asunder,
stockings run
from toe
to
heel
broken
from stilted, stiletto shoe......
…...I stagger these streets
praying
for
comfort,
seeking shelter
from his
battered words,
“I love you 2 death....bitch”
