Even as he stabs her,
she wants to kiss him,
plant her purple lips on
the slick skin of his crown.
Even as he plunges the serrated
end of the flag pole deeper
into her chest, pins her to the
eastern wall of the first baptist church—
rebuilt in brick to withstand future bombings—
twists it, widens the gap in her heart,
she reaches out for him, carresses his
chiseled chin, his blue eyes cool as steel.
Maybe his fear of miscegenation
will make him angry enough
to put an end to her silent love song.

I don’t like this antagonist dude, and I’m not so sure I like her if she’s not wiling to walk away. C’mon, he’s not worth it. Is he?

True, he’s a dick, and she’s, hmm . . . too hopeful for her own good?

Not sure where I was going with this poem. I wrote it a couple weeks ago, in response to recent events. I thought why not post it, get some feedback on it.

You definitely have a vivid imagination, Nortina! Definitely twisted, lol.
