it curves

      over

 

                  you

                              burns away

the endless drudgery

 

you work for linen prints

                  you

love him and can’t have him.

                  you

were orally raped until

                  you

                              vomited blood.

 

                  you

strike a match          smell sulphur

            dream of better things

                  under your tongue

                  you         know better now.

Very powerful and I like the formatting that seems fitting to the feel of disconnectedness. Good!

Enjoy the day with a smile to share ;-)
