An epithet for a perpetrator

An aggressive, violent "God"

By Susan LeePublished 5 years ago 1 min read
Korean topspin

I thought that Life was supposed to be Linear

Yet it keeps going in circles and circles like a Korean traditional topspin

Here

There

Here

A person can only handle so much;

they say that moving is supposed to be

one of the most stressful things in Life,

after divorce.

My mind can't make sense of all the ups and downs

and the irregularities;

This constant movement reminds me of

an arrhythmic heart of a patient which

I so desperately want to avoid.

I trusted you

I avoid you

Fuck you

Your violence and unwanted insertions into my Life

repulse me;

your condition is an illness.

Go away - you are the

persona non grata in my Life.
