somebody's dungeon

0 posted 2002-10-21 11:22 AM



She always smelled starched
stiff and clean, yet molding
around the edges somehow,
as the total aura appeared
swimming with rotten life.

Pulsating from her was loneliness,
a bitter soul, clothed
no, bound by appearance
for appearance sake
a facade, sand blasted face.

She was skinny and tight
as if skin was stretched to it's limit
to cover the myriad of bones
that jutted out here and there.

She was partial to boys
evidenced by the sickening drool
that escaped her mouth
when young lads were just too close.

It was just third grade. The child
I was, so afraid, so wrapped up,
yet seemingly so naked, trembled  
in fear of her up until the day,

pondering dreams of yesterday.
Reclined I suppose, to layback
too relaxed, and from behind
I felt her slap, hard upon my face
enough to sting with fire,

from that day on it was  
with bitter stare, rebellious glare
that I faced my enemy, and she
probably has long forgotten me
but her I will never forget.

So this is for you Mrs. Stamp
a tribute after your death.

I like it...especially the brutality. This is one of the few poems I have seen which is quite brutal emotionally but doesnt emphasize it, like "I RAPED THE FECAL FLESH IN HELLISH GONNOREA"
