Frozen Frigid

nobody stood next to me,
held my hand,
whispered in my ear.

"let me be good to you.
make you smile. lift
you up. come, let us 
enjoy life together." 

everybody stood against, 
suffocated. pushed
around, kicked when
fallen. stripped of all
possessions.

left naked and cold, 
a man merely 
breathes; and i
begin to crack.

Temptation

I heard he locked his door,
and trembled in his bed;
worried, I, would sneak in,
and fuck him dead.

We'd be perfect,
for one another,
if it weren't, for,
his clingy lover;

with her big,
boobs and, bank account.
(I have a little,
but not that amount!)

So, I heave my little bust,
and to myself, quietly lust.

Dumb Dick *yes, that was his nickname*

"where 'ya goin', with my dog!"
i demanded to know,
as he tromped off into the forest,
shotgun slung over shoulder;

then fed me a line of shit, to my
face, about some little old
lady who lived all alone in
snowy wild woods of Alaska,
and needed a pet for company.

i was hip to the witch
in the woods, and i was sure
she would eat our little dog,
as eagerly as she had
Hansel and Gretel.

was I relieved
when Mother & i
left on the big jet
back to Grandma's house,
the very next day.

man shoots my dog,
and feeds him to
the witch,
i'd leave him too -

i knew that, before i
was 5.

after that, Grandpa
took to naming his
dogs Ricky Dick.

Tenacious

I know I shouldn't care.

I know life is not fair,


but that, took some gall -


when you stood on me,

to be tall.

shun stray men

who am i,
to interfere-

with love?

Mom. I am Mom.

Karma

I saw you throwing rocks

into the river, until the water

was held back to flood stage.

My world, destroyed. My dreams;

covered in silt, smothered,

drowned. A bridge was never

your intention, yet you walked

over the destruction of your hands.

Just to laugh at me. When the rocks

gave way, and swept you downstream,

I prayed for your safety. When I saw the

vultures in the distance- I smiled.
