Smooshing

a prose poem

Tolbert
Oct 18, 2021
A wooden mallet is coming down atop an egg in a cup.

I’d be lying on my back

in the nude,

he atop me bare skin,

flesh upon flesh,

and his hand would be

smashing me.

Like he was trying to obliterate my center.

Pushing my greater omentum,

my guts, my pooch

this way and that

as if he had the power

to control

the way it would look following

our congress.
