Wedding gifts

Dearly beloved
pale skin clothed in white silk
something old, new, borrowed
Black and blue
We gather here today
Befores safe loses its meaning
In the angles of broken
Bones in the kitchen
To celebrate
The triumph of rabid power
Over the meek
The union
Of skull and floor
Fist and cheek
Of man and wife . . .

Wonderful! Abuse agian! I am beginning to worry about you. Prehaps this is your way of telling others about what is going on.

Keep writing! I'm listening!

I am gut-punched. this is both riveting and disturbing...and the message; only for artistic effect, i pray.

Hi eminor_angel...

I have to agree with everyone else, I do hope this is purely poetic, and not a personal experience. Definitely heart wrenching.

no, this isn't my own story, thank goodness. does anyone have ideas for titles? I want to change it.
