Karyn Indursky
Bathed in orchids she lives alone
with barrel memories. The barrel
presses into her chest and hard
metal screams. Every fiber in her
body is numb. She's been waiting,
wanting this for years. He's tortured
her enough. Words, actions. Numb.
She's a standing zombie without
knowing what emotions feel like.
And when that gun goes off, she's
still alive. Shot by abuse.
