Kidnapped at 9

Plucked naked by the raven

I remember everything

hands cuffed and screaming

running with swift blisters

No escape

terror beyond speech

thrown in the trunk

of an old beige Cadillac

I could hear the thump

of bumps on the pavement

the spin of cars and darkness

freeway to a mass grave

dizzy with fear driven

to a field behind a drive in

XXX Midnight Theater

Muffled sound of moaning

The trunk popped open

He just looked at me

he was calm for a killer

Twisted

head bent with sweat

crooked cock wet

throbbing for the kill

dirty and old

smelling of Sulfur

It was clear

I was not the first

never to be seen again

just me now

awaiting death

being dragged

through mud

to the swing set

The day my eyes turned black

Time locked and spun backwards

A time capsule of pain

Impossible to retrace

Sitting in the lap of Satan

I was small but I was fierce

-Retaliate-

bite

slice

scratch

stab

gouge eyes and run

face forward into

the ignorant crowd

ignore the giant horned owl

watching closely

as they fuck in back seats

drinking blood from plastic cups

laughing like ignorant sleaze

Who really

Fell that

wicked night

I wish I may

I wish I might

Have this wish

I wish tonight

A white Angel appeared above a yellow swing

my voice box blown open

Releasing blood with a

scream that curdled milk

filling the cracked window

of a 57 Chevy

his slice of midnight spoiled

fed with bread by wolves

for several years in a fractured cell

the moon peeking from behind a dark cloud

the angel chased the owl away

stars hanging from a string

The sirens were too late for me

or so it seems

damage had bled and

seeped through

my skin causing it to

remain thick through

this lifetime and the next

Nothing will ever be the same

You can not change what you have seen

I just had to learn to breathe

He returned once

When I was 23

Standing under my orange tree

Hands in his pockets

Set free like a sick mouse

My eyes still a stone shade of black

He smiled "the one that got away."

I sneered and said,

"I will see you on the other side."

He replied, "no, you won't."

I said "oh, but yes! I certainly will."
