Submission (a poem)

Stepping away again from the month’s theme…

Hit me
Make me cry
I have to get it out
Somehow, some way

Behind the veil
detail blurs and smears
Nothing else will make answers clearer
than they were yesterday

Stab me
Make me bleed
Hold me down
until I concede

and throw my concession into the fire
to be sliced by the cord wound tightly into wire

You don’t think I have a chance, do you?

Then why are you here?
