Trio Poems
FORCED

I say no

I say stop

I say no

I say stop

I push you away
you come forward

keep perfectly still

NO
STOP
PLEASE
STOP
NO...
HIM

something's wrong
you feel different
different today
your voice is off
your smell is falsely sweet
your posture is stiff
you have his eyes
but you are not him
you are not him
you are not him
MY PAST LIVES

past lives
funny things
forced down
held in place
no power to stop it
forced, raped

past lives
funny things
blade in hand
ending it all
pain in the wrists
life flowing away

past lives
funny things
betrayed
cold eyes on me
you tell me
it was all a lie
nothing that was felt
was real

all alone

past lives
funny things
aren't they?
