SATELLITE
i hate him
for one precise moment
as i watch my friends
animal attack, relentless
my hatred
orbits me
elliptical trajectory
seduces me
licks me slowly
toe to erection
to nape to lips
seers my senses
burnt raw
with exquisite precision
hatred floods my empty margins
so pure
like addiction
he’s punched to the ground
kicks vicious
blood and rain tangle
he says nothing
grasping for
air or saving
both causalities
i kick him
back of the head
hard it feels
but only glances
focus on leg now
thinking damage would be less
the others, i don’t recognize
frothing, feral
still kicking kicking
blood seeps thick
like plasticene from his nose and mouth
nothing in my ear but thrash, wallop
gurgling, wheezing after each
hard target strike
the inertia of aimless hate
slave to primordial childhood
i become alligator
i become dinosaur
foot targets the small of the back
AGAIN!!
AGAIN!!
AGAIN!!
until his back cracks
goes paranthetical
my hatred evaporates, breathes its last
collapses against the back of my skull
it sits there
not answering questions
i fall to my once steel haunches
his face is no longer
his eye – clouded, near to rupture – latches to mine
pleading? pleading? with me?
i’m powerless
i’ve spent my moment of hate
my second i’ve caring missed
i put my eyes between my knees
listening to the dust of his
tears, blood and dying
and pretend i’m not there
