Bus Ride (Tetractys Poem) Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

Bus Ride (Tetractys Poem)



Rape
victim
enemy
so much anger
tsunami of heinous minds in disgust.

Bus ride on a lonely Indian roadway
turn time to fear
how mind works
body
soul.

Men
repeat
wicked shame
denigrating
flesh and bone to smear woman of her dreams.
