The hurt
is teeth clenching
bone deep
oppression.
She has long known
the tyrant
all too well
adjusted,
between hatred
and indifference.
All our progress
still no cure.
How much longer
must she be in debt:
Anonymous blood
Intravenous drips
Toxic tablets
chugged down
with orange juice
and audacious prayer.
Prescripted pain killers
in pocket sized boxes
do not do
what they say
but at least
the stings of the swarm
a thousand bees
are partially quelled
Softened
by sweet poison.
