TWAK!
Twak!
A knife embeds itself
in the space just
by her left ear
as if the wood
gulped it...sucked it
in
its glint
vibrating still.
In her head
she plans
dinner.
She stares
at her husband
remembers how
he had come
to court her
...twak!
Another knife
flashes spitefully
narrowly missing
her other ear
a little
bubble of blood
like a stud
earring blossoming
on a wobbly
earlobe.
'Ouch! '
she whispers
to herself
guilty
at such an over
reaction
oh how he had
excited her
her head
in a spin
saying he
was in
show business
her world
revolves
about him
the next knife
impregnates itself
in the space
between her
legs
like a tuning fork
it hums
her excitement
builds
a splinter of
wood
nestles in her
left inner thigh.
'Wow...nice! '
she becomes moist.
The shimmy of her
spangles
as the lights catch
her
a little
gasp
she faces him
boldly
afraid &
un-afraid
upside down now
her world all topsy-turvy
she still so
proud of her
husband's skill
to tantalise her
his unerring
accuracy
the pride of being
(she the knife thrower's assistant)
as well
as wife.
Twak!
