i wanted to jump
from my bones
and disperse
in the wind
like dandelion
seed heads.
to be free
and light as air.
can still feel his breath
on the back of my neck
humid, unwanted, as
The look in his starving eyes
glazed over
with feral lust,
fingers gripping
My hips
leaving bruises
shaped like his desire.
Now, when I walk past that office,
just off the corner
In the DLZ
where he took me
apart
piece by piece,
I can feel the hastiness
in his fingers
as he tears my *******
in his eagerness
to satisfy himself.
I should have
said something,
but I didn’t
and now
we are here.
