Moving Targets
By Malice In Wonderland
it
never fails
that cold knot
in the pit of my stomach
bringing shivers
to crooked spines
on the hottest
of summer days
the rings
on the backhand
aimed
at unprotected throats
unexpected
and always
right on fucking target
sharpen tongued
shards
sliding through
the tender flesh
and my ribs are bared
for the scarring
spewing
futility
because
nobody
ever
hurts me
like you can.
