A poem about truth
Truth



slap
ears ringing    vision blurry    eye swelling
I hear you talking        don’t know what you’re saying
but I hear
STUPID        BITCH

slap
I told you   
I want my dinner ready when I get home

"even though you’re home after ten-thirty
         when you get off at four"


slap
didn’t I tell you to keep those damn kids QUIET

slap
every time I turn around you on that goddamn phone
talking to your sister
mother
cousin
some damn body

slap
you know I ain’t wearing that damn shit
what’s wrong with you
stupid bitch

slap
bloody    nose        mouth
why you keep fucking with me
see what you made me do?


"you say you love me
but that can’t be the truth"
