Abuse Tango

Christina Ells

i’d like to think it a dance
of intricate proportions
advance forth
two three
cower back
two three
fist grips hair, pulling quickly
head bobs down
two three
slapping in rhythm
to some inaudible tune
spit blood
two three
choke back vomit
two three
eyes swell against the pain
ribs sore and raw
taunting
two three
nothing quite like the abuse tango
