exposure
by MK Chavez
the poet pushes me
against the wall.

his words
are in my head
his lips

come together
and speak
the profanity
brings the blood

rushing
to my skin.
I’m awake

when he slaps me
the skin tingles
he hasn’t touched me

but he has
he’s inside of me

naked
and screaming
the body

of his words
tearing everything
open

leaving me naked
for everyone to see
