Description
heputs his hands on you
when you are
thirteen
and moon-eyed,
invited to your first
party
by girls with cherries
for lips, marbles for
eyes
girls
made of gardens
that you wished
you could plant yourself in
but their gardens
were all weeds,
their gardens wrapped stems
around the doorknob
their vines clicked
the lock in
he
bruises your mouth
with his knuckles
when you ask him to stop
says, bitch,
you should be
grateful
you should be
on your
knees
no one
is ever going to
want to touch
a body like yours,
you
are colossal,
made of the ocean
you
are drowning, drowning,
drowning.
he
says, fuck you,
you weren't even
worth it
anyway
he
takes his hands away
when you are thirteen
spits his seed
onto your skin
as he leaves
thirteen,
you wish your body
really was the sea
so you could swallow yourself
whole

You are possible one of the best poets I've ever read from. I'm a huge fan by the third poem.
