Giant breasts make noise,
Like wood slats rubbing do-
Turning and rolling,
Deformed women, some
With broken teeth, some with
Bleeding cuts, the most grotesque
Are near to death.

Their large hands reach
To grasp my throat;
And I can't deny these haunts
Approach, this night that encroach
My sleep, from behind curtained wings.

Constant, more come, acting
Rage tableaus; Could these
Women (seen baroque) be
Those in normal life
That stay in foul relationships,
Sustaining delt abuse?

Flights of Amazons
Fresh from fights,
All former beauties,
Many horrors
Have they seen;
Pain and grief
Has made them ugly..

Witnesses,
Of their own beatings
These battered mutants
Now tear me apart,
And stir in a bubbling caldron
A meal of flesh
(In lieu
of their evil mates)
For them, of me...

But why am I tortured, consumed?
I did not strike them!
I never abused them,
I speak out against it,
Curse the ones that do it-
Yet I suffer
For the deeds of cruel men
In this battered womens,
Nightmare-dream.

Ford, great to see you, and what an entrance, Bless you dearheart for this...

Why the nightmares, b/c your more sensitive to the issue, your soul realizes, what hurts others also hurts you...upon which the violations are an insult to society/humanity...and I really hope this country wakes up soon...we've become immune to crime...making this acceptable behavior...
it is not

Hugs to you for your words, concern, and most of all...sincerity

I believe what I witnessed of the BTK confessions
would have given me a nightmare such as this,
myself.
Never have I witnessed such calm composure
of hideousness...

Thank you for YOUR sincerity, Ford.

Ford, I love your heart, your mind, your soul...and it doesn't surprise me in the least that you might 'suffer' alongside the those who suffer this form of torture.
You ARE such a gentle heartbeat, m'friend.
