Poetry: Remembering rape

A blank mind
Erased by guilt and
Erased by sin and
Erased by hate

Flash!
A blink of a scene
A keg in the corner and
A table outside

The team rallies
Quarters are thrown and
Cups are flipped and
A drunken player grabs my hand

The car starts and
I'm thrown against him
His hand slides up my dress and
I let it go

Higher and higher and
Lower and lower until
I'm staring at the ceiling
Wondering what just happened.

    Obvious places

    Tears.

    Taken Away:



    How did this happen
    why did it happen to me
