This man is an animal
motivated purely
by his own primordial
instinct
Not the instinct to procreate
rather the urge to take
possession of another
without their permission
Worming his way into her
delicate psyche
he penetrates her mind
first
Winds his way through her
limbic system
leaving her aching
wanting more
Then he moves down to her heart
and takes his meaty grasp of it
squeezing, pulsing he takes control
she concedes
With mind and heart secured
he knows
he has control of her
sex
Then - and only then
he releases his grasp
she falls disconnected
through space and time
Where is he
the one who will save her
she is lost
scared
She begs him to take her again
into his possession
being owned feels safe
she mistakes this for love
He obliges for he knows
she will reward him
passionately
with great fervor
And he will do this
catch and release
until she is weakened and
torn apart from her own soul
She is wholly dependent
utterly shattered
He won the prize
killed the big game
Job done
he tosses her lifeless empty body
on top of the pile
with all of the rest

You stood too long looking
at a field of carved out hearts.
now clutch your chest,
Have they taken yours too?
But with
by JT Till
Like a gentle flower unopened,
Or the grace of a flying Dove,
She whispers in the moonlight,
and
It’s not enough
It will never be enough
I will keep begging for more
And this love
Sweet, selfish love
Of things material
by Sam Falini
Pieces of her puzzle
She walked through the forests of Oregon
She swam in the seas of California
She searched for herself
Little Plastic Lucy
She wears a face of plastic
Lucy is her name
Her lips are tight elastic
with hair long and plain
Withered
