domestic_disturbance
lycanthrope So i file the report
and my tears are kept in the bin, behind a stolen bicycle,
or maybe it’s better kept than that, and i get to be
amongst my own,
disturbance of the tame
the domestic
the wild where it cannot be, simply cannot
because someone would die.
Would i need to stay with someone like that in a wild world?
No, only a world where i have to take a number to cry.
That kind of world i need the police’s protection
just like i needed his.
And maybe they’re nice, and maybe he was smug
or maybe he was nice sometimes too, and maybe
they’re smug. You can’t tell untill it’s too late
to back out.
I threw my back out. Lifting something i should
never have to lift. A burden that didn’t start with
me, or maybe not even with him
but somewhere his father and his mother
decided it was easier just to forget than to
change. Practically the same.
A bruise can be so many things after it’s happened.
A bruise feels the same whether you remember
falling or being hit. So where’s the lie? There is no lie.
Only, it won’t happen again right? I’m on file now.
Surely i can rest there, amongst the damp dark
official stamps and folders and rest for a while,
just a while.
