Damages Poem
Damages
What did I expect.
Playing with tangled-
mass of corroded wire.
Remember peacock feather earrings,
skin secrets,
wrestling till it hurt;
protectively naive.
Poor choices can
leave one in fetal position,
an endless bath cycle
clutching ceramic comfort;
insta-womb.
Scraped out with a silver spoon,
sanded packed in limbs.
Now disintegrate into salt film
tinged jade.
Dissolve into virtual sex crimes,
float amongst 1s and 0s.
Paint on thicker skin,
reconstruct the hymen amide
muddled mindfuck.
Become wise, impenetrable,
pickled and rusted.
I am your shame,
hardened salt woman.
A bitter taste
spit me out
spat me out
My fingers are orange
and it doesn’t hurt.
I expect nothing.
