Ketamine Dream
She was pretty once.
Still is in a vivid nightmare sort of way.
The kind where you fall right through Wonderland
Straight into the waiting maw of the Jabberwocky.
Paying for pleasure with spread legs as her currency.
Smiles and embraces a numbness she can't enjoy
Goes to sleep inside while the strangers are fucking her.
She doesn't cry and can't remember what tears are for.
The bruises she no longer hides come from falling down
That's what her boyfriend says when she's kissing his fist.
There is no poetry here and the dead girl can't scream
Cause she's been having these Ketamine Dreams.
