Dirty Laundry

    Karyn  Indursky

Peering into autumn eyes
he sees her shattered insides
bleeding through tight lips
painted with cosmetics
like her porcelain face
too perfect to touch
beneath a tracing finger
or understanding lips
when her banana peel yellow
hair hides her bruised
shoulders from being shaken
into unconsciousness before tearing
away her dignity along with
pleated pants no longer belted
to keep her rice pudding
blouse neatly in place
as her pounding heart drummed
its last vibrant beat
upon having him fondle
virgin breasts hardening
under unwanted attention
while her limp thighs
spread wide apart for
beastly hands destroying her
barely there thongs
easily as he claims her
hollowed spirit repeatedly
until reaching his orgasm
and leaving her as his
dirty laundry.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This a poem about how the sexual abuse from someone can blind the victim from letting another have their love and winding up alone.
