Thank you

by Lousyerface

In an epidemic of black eyes Cyclops people lose. A right of passage into womanhood is a HANDS ON approach. A right hook with a bow tie in the Vmiddle Knuckle. L O V E From index to pinky And all over her body. Seeing this from one eye Is the luck of having two. "Thank you.", I say. With half my mouth in silence As muted screams escape the smothering hand that says LOVE.

Notes

This poem is about men who don't acknowledge the existence of abuse. Maybe even their contribution to it for ignoring it. The privilege of being a white man in a country that burns victims is incredibly frightening. Having accountability for your actions and checking others. Violence is everywhere .
