Silence
into silence she was fed
every night for a month he visited me
while i was sleeping
would lay his hands on my body
quiet i'd awake and how still i would be
and on the last night he took me to the shower
soaped me and pressed inside, pushed
but my silence unerved him and he carried me to bed
and with the soap and come
drying stiff and white on me he said
i'll sleep on the floor
so baby baby i can't hurt you any more
why bother
maybe i should have killed him
when i knew the time was right
or left him stranded on the highway at night
maybe i should've screamed
when that poker game landed another one
between my sheets
he liked me because i didn't like him
he thought i played the piano well
he couldn't believe i had never had lessons
he thought i was sweet
he couldn't believe i was 21
he said i looked 16
he said i was sweet as he climbed into bed with me
and after he was through
he cried apology after apology
then fell asleep
and i
of course
stupid and silent until dawn
