it comes again
predictably unpredictable
His touch, a leaden mud, a crystal glass
The highest yellow note,
singing
shattering
refracting
His voice like tumbling gravel
creeps toward my mouth
choking me
a sensation
not unlike
drowning
His words
a sheet of stinging rain
wriggling and
crawling underneath
and moving restlessly
within
my skin
His grimace is
blinding
binding
blackest violence
That cold metal smile
teeth like fresh tar
sharp like shark's eyes
His fist
an explosion of green glitter
the scent of derision
Face to the floor
Who knew
love could smell like
defeat?
