settle

you told me to

settle

to settle

to settle while your hands

touched

Where they invaded

and faded

from my view

settle?

with your cunning grin

and my squeals

settle when i shut my eyes

shut my mouth

and

pretended not to feel?

settle

down you said,

settle, be still

there’s more of me to take

open

like the good little whore

like i know you will

settle while your hand

pressed down

on my head

and i chocked

And begged

settle, you said.

settle

when tongues meet

in rhythm

dancing

across skin, and lips,

and       cunts

settle when my fist found its way inside you

settle you said,

stay with me,

don’t run.

settle

     when i

          Took the blade

settle         when i

     made my cut

and thought about you

          making the cuts

settle settling still

     even as your eyes stare

          as your hands wander

settling still

     the anger   deep inside

     the anger that   pierces with knives

the anger i said,

     still bright and true

settling still

            settle the anger

     but the anger never will
