So Many Concerns
Made a lane change in the argument
Slight miscalculation of what was said
Saw the fist making it’s usual descent
Punches connected like bolts of dread
Rage always seems to claim her face
Light is eclipsed in transforming eyes
The calm before the darkest embrace
When she removes her normal disguise
Soon all the anger will go into remission
Ride out the storm until reason returns
Knowing how to remedy this condition
Her love comes with so many concerns
Slight miscalculation of what was said
Saw the fist making it’s usual descent
Punches connected like bolts of dread
Rage always seems to claim her face
Light is eclipsed in transforming eyes
The calm before the darkest embrace
When she removes her normal disguise
Soon all the anger will go into remission
Ride out the storm until reason returns
Knowing how to remedy this condition
Her love comes with so many concerns

The Coming
Yelling cursing, noise level terror
Then he hits her
She cries
Things get quiet, then it starts again
Locked in his room, the boy sits on the floor next to his bed
That's the place he goes when they go at it
Mother & Alien, this man/boyfriend
This thing that watches TV or it's i-phone and drinks long cans of malt liquor in the dark
Sometimes the Alien is there when his mother isn't
The Alien doesn't speak
The Alien drinks, beats mother & watches TV
The boy knows that he's lucky the Alien doesn't beat on him
Other Aliens have...

Women
I
Women are allowed to break oaths
professions sewn from hope
burn bridges to the ground
to make room for what counts
II
The problem with violence
is that it captures attention—
making it effective
When our bodies vibrate into action
we reach for reason
to hypnotize us
into balanced numbness

In my domestic violence exhibit
at the local library
one victim had written: ...

Crocodile Tears
I can’t buy all the lies she tries to rise and amplifies
As she cries with dry eyes in some kind of disguise
Ms. Heard twists words and turds then just justifies
But on the inside you can see she feels cold as ice
We’ve all seen some bad acting but this is distracting
A lot the things she says simply don’t make sense
But an abuser will turn around and be the accuser
Gathering everyone to come to their defense
What she doesn’t understand as she takes the stand
Is that her body language tells a different story
While trying to act...

Belle's Beast
She was beaten into a crumpled pile, he never feared as he approached
There was the smell of torturous pain all around, the walls of his realm broached
Lost in the wilderness of her mind, where her abuser left her for dead
Some how her finder could her the words of abuse in her head
He could hear the words echoing, "slut" and "whore" all around
He could feel the giant fist continually pounding her down
Treated as a dog, made to crawl on all four
Yes, hold on Lil Momma, let me open the door
He could had kicked it in, but why...

Ode to my Mother
My mother in the depths of her pain and sorrow
had a strength and tenacity that all should borrow
selfless sacrifices should be an example to follow
she was stoic to the end faithful to her vow
she endured her husband cruel blows
shielding her children from his punches
waking up with black eyes and bleeding nose
enduring the pain as she went about her chores
she was a lynch pin, holding everyone together
loving my wayward brothers even as they wandered
working in the paddy field to feed them
thatching the roofs to keep us all...

she was a lynch pin, holding everyone together
loving my wayward brothers even as they wandered
working in the paddy field to feed them
thatching the roofs to keep us all...

Like The Shower Scene From "Psycho"
While she was washing
the dirt off, Pamela heard
a crash and opened the door.
But before she reached
for that gun, someone grabbed her
arm and stabbed Pam seven times.

From the Depths of Hell
Wow Its been a while
You're the last person I thought Id see
But then, you never admitted what you are
A punk ass coward scum mother fucker, right?
Maybe my demons will win tonight...
How I loved you, oh my Lord
you tossed it all back at me
Literally and hard too
whats a fool in love to do?
Took some non gut sutures for a while
an I.V. as well that held poison
lots of pain meds, oh the pain
they all warned me you were insane
You have no fucking clue what you've done to me

Your dead lover just walked out the door
Killed him with a kettle bell
And steaming hot coffee mug
Left him bleeding out
Charcoal amongst burning bridges
Smouldering embers blowing in the breeze
Exiting like the gust of a ghost
Baby blue those final chapters
They well and done
And steaming hot coffee mug
Left him bleeding out
Charcoal amongst burning bridges
Smouldering embers blowing in the breeze
Exiting like the gust of a ghost
Baby blue those final chapters
They well and done
