rape, voiceless

Retreat

in silent retreat

she communes with her master

lady-in-waiting

2

lady-in-waiting

she beats a hasty retreat

from master’s chamber

3

from master’s chamber

her cotton wrap trailing steps

cruel laughter rings on

4

cruel laughter rings on

his voice indelible mark

her maiden-head gone

Fading Whiff

flickering shadows

sleeping clouds

his love’s but a fading whiff

exhaled through the times
