Untitled
an uncle she could idolise
unwanted touching - young breasts, thighs
undoes his flies - watch it rise - terrifies
shuddup or I'll punch yer - she complies
your shame, your fault he says - hers to internalise
our secret he says, and she tries
to tell, but she can't
he parts her legs, takes the prize
tells her it purifies
gets worse, sodomise - horrifies
her period dries, belly swells in size
loose clothes to disguise
newborn thrown into trash, dies
all day long she cries
til her uncle's demise
shot by her aunt
