closings xvii

Kinsey Peterson

Your hand

A collar across my throat

Choking me

As I beg

To be loved as human

Not a dog

Not a pet

But as someone of worth

With ideas and dreams

Yet your boot

Presses against my cheek

And the juice

Of pomegranates

Spills across the floor

And stains my face.

    in view of the fact this page leaves me both in awe and feeling sad .. although I am not religious, maybe a religious theme or flavour wouldn't go amiss miss .. Neville
