open hand slaps bone
again again
right left right left
repeats
cheeks redden
tears stream
sobs wrack the frame
'let that be a lesson
there is more waiting
where that came from
filthy scum
unloved and unloveable
this is what you deserve'
finally she stops,
as the inner pain
tearing through her
has lessened
a bit,
and smiles with
bleeding mouth
Amazing. That last stanza chills me to the bone.
