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
