BITCH IS THIRSTY
My bitch is thirsty
Here he comes looking into my lap
Good animal
Look at the state you are in
Poor thing
It’s ok
I have what you need
I’m a juicy little thing
Come closer
Take a big drink
Use your face
Drink everything
There is more
Bitch is thirsty
There is always more
THIS MORNING
Done until I limped
Into the sun
Every man looked at me
So curious
I think they could smell me
Smell what he did
How I liked it
They wanted a bit
There was light in everything
Inner light – clear
Not normally visible
Like what I saw in him
My Prince
Light in the trees
Leaning in
They could smell me too
Raw like them
Raw as nature is
TAKE MY HAIR
Take my hair
Like before
Take me into the woods
Drag me into the woods
I want to kiss you
Put me against that tree
Wet morning tree
Use your other hand now
I'm helpless
Hand in my dress
Captured by a bad man
Nobody for miles
I'm going to get molested
And leave my knickers there
For the perverts
MARKING
There is something there
Urge
After the scent I'm marking frantic
I'm waiting
Walking
Waiting
Walking
Like he is
Marking
And I hear a dog cry
Outside my window
Sounds like my soul
Sounds like limbo
Sounds wrong
But he can't break it
And I can't either
I'm trying
My body is long – stretched
In his maul
And my teeth are grinding
Into jawbone
THE PIT
Back in the pit
A man's belt around my neck
Me and nothing
And him
It's all I want
And semen
To fill every crack
In my being
I WALK
Half-flower
Half-drug
Magnet to musk
I will taste the nectar
The juice is dark
In its sweetness I will be Eve
I will become perfume
As he injects
Eyes roll back
In peace
Bound in the mercy I granted
ENOUGH.
There it slid
Finally out of me
Still sparkling
I shook it off my feet
Walked back
Watched it darken
Slither apart
And harden
