RUINS AND ROAD WORTHINESS || Poem

Your body is a collection of broken poems;

A Trochee for when he hit your head against the wall

For serving him cold dinner,

A Sonnet for when he whipped your once beautiful body

With the strength of his rage

Every day you sit in front of his house

And mourn the death of your smile;

Your lips once parted in synchrony

With the pulsation of his heart

But now your very breath

Disgusts the very him.

Your body is an encyclopedia of destruction;

Pages and pages of scars and scabs

Crisscrossing sheets of blood and sores

And laced with the fear that seats

In the center of your heart

Every time you hear

His footsteps

But you have the choice between pain and hope

Between living in the darkness of his anger

And floating in the clouds of your joy

And when you choose to be human

You will rise from the ash of his fury

And live again like a Phoenix
