A compelling rape poem from Serbia.
***
So I mature like a corpse flower
My pulchritudinous petals reach up for light
And they come to me like flies to rotting meat.
This is the world of lies
Of thirsty angels who die
While still appearing angelic
They’ve lost their shine
Have you ever been raped?
You should join me like a vampire
You’ll be bitten for a limitless life
For a never ending night of screeching sodomy…

I am very glad you liked it, Christine Many find this poem “difficult” and “dark”. I wonder if something like “difficult” and “dark” even exists when it comes to an artistic expression. Still, this poem has found her place under the bright sun 🙂

I always feel the so called ‘dark’ s interesting and necessary. Without darkness, we could not have the light! Good job Leila, very moving poem.
