unclean

i haven't been clean 
since you raped me.

im having trouble confronting the body you brutalized.
i smell of blood 
vultures are circling my corpse.
my clothes hangs loose and my hair
sticks to my skin, greasy

im having trouble caring for this husk
i wish to be boiled like water,
be made pure again.
