Honor
please, tell me what to do
............ order
............ ............ command
............ ............ ............ yell it
so your spit covers my face
kindly, push me back down in my seat
do not let me stand
there is no need for it
shove my head down when it dares look up
so my eyes remain pure
clean
............ empty
............ ............ yours
slap your hand across my mouth
should it dare open to speak
keep me in my place
ah no, not mine, yours
your place
because there is no my
that would imply the existence of an I
there is only a her
sitting quietly with her head down and lips shut
because the shes and the hers
were creating for the Yous
to look at. stare at. yell at. grab at. mock at. smirk at. kick at. throw at. spit at.
better yet, cover her
all of her
with black
everywhere
make her walk around clutching her black shadow
tight
so no man dare look. stare. grab. mock. smirk. kick. throw. spit.
that my dear, is your honor, and yours a l o n e.
