Clay Coverings

To make him see
everything she
holds close to her,
to make him feel
everything she
emanates with each look
she gives him,
is what she wants,
but instead . . .

Miles of tears
track down her face
as she thinks about the
lost hope
and the
pain
she creates
with each day,
each sucking day
that takes what she
dreams
and turns it into
a self-hating parade
she celebrates constantly.

Watch the streamers
wave in the wind,
they blow red and long,
like the streams of blood
she longs to claw out of her
heart
in front of all the spectators
who love to see
a good conflict,
a good story.

Making her way along,
she hates the dust that
jumps
from the road
onto her,
then clings
and weighs her down
like clay dampened
and thrown at her,
managing to smother her
like a blanket.

At times,
she likes to
throw the clay
onto herself
and wallow in her
misery,
all the while knowing
she should shower
and remove the clay,
but it clings so easily,
and she likes its familiar
weight.

Mock her
with the filth she carries,
tell her she can carry yours
as well,
she will acquiesce,
but will feel the burden,
and will fall beneath it.
How much do you want her to
fall?

Go,
and come back
to see what has happened to her,
how pitiful she is,
how silly she always is.
Back home!
