OW!

She was a no one,
and he was an anybody
sent to ruin her from
the morbid jaws of hell.
FacehairbreathgrasspainOW!
Ground out by the barn,
wet with the stench of unfair advantages
and sticky humidity closing in
on her muffled screams.
HimhersharpfastloudOW!
His sweatshirt chokes her.
It's stuffed in her grasping mouth.
Her flailing limbs are all pinned down
by muscular, practiced him.
 MistnightpartymusicgoneOW!

Crazy write Sis! I love how you drew with words something few speak of. Scary I know and shameful but life's reality is at times horrid! Again nicely done!

Your words paint a most discerning picture of the horrors of date rape. While it has been a while since I was in high school I can still remember the cliques and how many longed to belong to the ‘popular’ crowds. Your descriptive are very impressive.

Thank you! I was hoping to paint a nice picture of it, leave4 the nitty gritty details to the traces of your own mind, fill it in with any party, y'know?

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
