Poem

Memories of whip-lashing words 
steeped me deep into a roil of rancid oil
my soul a weeping blistered sore  
my heart a gangrene amputee 
pus-green-memories rupture to plague me 
infection still oozes from core’s moaning cracks

in a pale cringe I sniffled   cold floor my confidant
a split lip half-wit tamed by the maim of his fist
buried by a madman’s magma 
I turned to obsidian and fractured
my sense of self a thousand blades of glass
words spewed like chewed-tobacco spit
pinned me in place like a pitchfork’s blackened tines
he split my skin  stripped me to my bones
his vulture needs   I remember 

my emotional remains he savored 
flavored with slaps and vodka bottle bottoms
I seethed in sour juices of moonshine abuses
pain  and  shame    I counted moons   I waited
as I breathe   so I do remember 

I fantasized of blasting him to the belly of Hell
when I’d usher vengeful death inside our dark door
reaper’s reckoning when this battered forget-me-not
shattered hateful bones with buck-shot scatter— damn!
I would’ve paid the devil for a jail cell to be free

candlelight nights bruised by cruiser lights
black-eyed Susan pressed between diary pages
concussion dreams panic my pulse and dilate my eyes
oh sleep of the dead heal me with deceased peace
‘til night hags of nightmares die   ...I will remember
