writing about HIV and being sexually abused

I would liquidate my body

But especially my ass

That is what he always wanted

I had to hold still

While my mind screamed

Squandering depreciation

A pull upon the

Pursuit of extortion

If I told he would kill me

It was not a joke

He would kill me

At a market price

Of capitulation

Him in me

It may as well have been his teeth

HIV is a forced loan

You cannot pay back

I am impotent

And sick

The standard bearer

Of burning shit

I know I will kill myself

Inside the lion’s mouth

Of seduction

He seduced me into it

It is my fault

Stop telling me it is not my fault

My heart’s roots

Tell me that it is

Especially my ass

Especially my ass – Carter
