Poem: Gazelle (warning--triggering poem)

 

Gazelle

 

shards of sharp shadow

bind my shivery breast.

your tongue slashes my mouth

to slide inward and taste the fresh insult

of denial slain.

 

vicious, your arms, vicious tigers,

who lunge to grip, drag, pull 

until i fall, a gazelle,

to stare up awkward

at the cutlery beneath

your relentless grin.

 

i tremble. you feed.

in my pupils you swell, 

even as your heat surges, a fang

to puncture my soul.
