D-O-M-E-S-T-I-C....V-I-O-L-E-N-C-E
Fall weather...the cool air approaches
and you can feel it hit your face
October
weather equals the month
of domestic violence
purple signifies the bruises which are left behind
and the invisible ones you don't see
like a gentle leaf which falls slowly by your feet
the slap and the fist
is strong.....and you wonder if you
will make it through the fall
you may and you may not...
the world out here is shallow
is there room...for one or two or three
and at times there is knot
when you knock on a tree
the answer rings hallow
but you realize you are strong and need to be
for you are important....and should take care of thee
