haunts of humiliation Poem, by Tristan Robert Lange, at My poetic side

i wanted my hands to be

pretty—painted—

ten black holes

on these poetic finger

tips

the iceberg

phallic—

attached to

two breasts?

weird, i know.

are testicles not so?

ten black holes—

ten reminders

remain—

permanent—

your disdain toward me—

my being pretty—

ugliness

now

across these

haunts of

humiliation.
