Slap MAG
May 9, 2010
our booming voice
gives me the power
to close my mouth
and look away.
slap.
your hand connects
with my cheek
and leaves a sting
i've felt before.
you finish your lecture
your face red; eyes beady
and i scurry away –
shaken.
turning off the faucet,
i wipe my face,
and pray you won't notice
my eyes are red.
