“AN ORDINARY MURDER” 20 Feb 2000

I am Rachel
this is my body
going swimming again
in natural water
my face hurts
whenever I hit a branch
or a stone
and my ass hurts from where
he bit me
Raw flesh on tepid water
now I am swimming free
weighed down by stones
wrapped in plastic
in a river near a local beauty spot
in Leicestershire
