A Decade to Clean

TW: sexual violence

December 2011:

How
Does one
Clean
A body
Defiled
Within it’s
Own
Shower?

Where
Then
Is
Safe
To clean
Him
Off/ut
Of
You?

December 2021:

Last night
I somatic
Danced,
Sobbed,
Flailed,
Rocked,
And shook
Free of the
Night he
Came over.

One of my
rapists fell
skydiving,

broke every
bone in his
body, & had
to relearn
how to walk.

The U.S.
Legal
System
Could
Never
Be so
Just.
