Kim Van Breda Poet Free verse

Shacklesmacked

SHACKLESMACKED

facedrizzled
skinsizzled
painshrieking
manacled
bloodbeating

whimpering whaif
cowering safe
no wait…
here it comes
again…
and again
and
again


the coward
stands
a machine 
beating
meanthinking
man with dead
eyes
vermonworming
 his disguise

lips thin as
pins in dark
blue skies

abhorrent
sickening
torment
of an 
innocent
child


(the heinous crime of child abuse)
