For Karina Vetrano (Murdered 8/2/16 Queens, NY) & Vanessa Marcotte (Murdered 8/7/16 Princeton, MA)

What was it

That split us in two

On the edge of the blade

I fell on one side,

You on the other

I was there, too

With his hands on my throat, squeezing

My vision darkening

My death the prize in his mouth

Who would ever know, what I saw, what I felt?

No one!

My corpse, in a field,

“Raped and strangled?”

No!

I’m telling you,

It was only a question of a millimeter

A fraction of a fraction of a breath

The vise just missed my windpipe

He blinked, maybe he sneezed, at just the wrong moment,

Enough for me to kick him in the nuts

And run

I survived

A woman, cut in two

The other half of me

Is still in the fields

With you

I can't comment. So sad, tragic. Crimes against women, against girls, against children . A modern tragedy.

What is wrong with love.

Way to go Girl

I was worried that she was going to die. I am so happy that she lives to fuck another day.

A very difficult theme

This is dramatic and extremely depressing.

If an analysis of the poem is needed then the Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum (at Literotica) may be preferable.

Very dark but artful and imaginative. A survivor always has something dead inside.
