Almost
You drop
insults like salt
on fries.
Use “whore”
like salt
in wounds.
Display of power
insinuating my looseness
sinue and osseous
tissue
forced down by
your body weight
on top of my body
wait
for it to end.
Your words slung
like stones
sticks and bones.
Hurts most
coming from your
cherub mouth.
He almost breaks me,
almost breaks me.
