Help, or Something Less, Akin
December 18, 1991

she had told him no
not once
but repeatedly
swearing she'd been pure -
he became part of her
pushing inward like he'd had practice

she came to ask me why, tears in her eyes
could take no comfort, afraid to be touched
again, ever, I had no answer
and she wouldn't tell me his name

the hurt's supposed to fade in a year
but the flicker's still in her eyes like a scar
right across the cornea, a cat's vertical slit
and you almost can't help staring
at her neck when she talks
because her voice changed too
when she screamed her larynx apart
