Tears and yelling
Big, raging steps
His hand spilling my bottle
of ink
The thunderous sound of the door
slamming and the silence after it
Chest pain
One hundred failed attempts to write
mediocre poetry
Red lipstick on dry lips
Untouched meals and empty beer cans
A baseball bat
A cracked windshield
And a neighbor pinning me down
More tears
And the taste of asphalt
and defeat.
