Marianne
a back handed compliment.
a letter you wrote said
you meant to send
but you never meant a word
Marianne
are you angry again?
tied up and wired on punishment
for some made up sin
like you were born bad to begin with
As if you'd been born
with those scars on your arm
and the bruises on you legs
and both your eyes black
the way that they were this morning
and the one before that
I hope your boyfriend dies
and I hope you dad dies too
and every abuser who
used you or tied you up
held you down or beat you up
drowns in the sound they refused you
Modular synths sparkle amidst piano, vibes, and other organic instruments stringing together constellations of sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 22, 2023
