Long Ago Wounds Poem by RIC BASTASA

Long Ago Wounds



you said that
when you are angry
you did no waste time
you barge inside the
room of the
oppressor andthere
you hit him with
your fists
and spit upon him

you advise me to
do the same

but i cannot follow it
i've been there in
that situation many times
i used my fists and
i spat upon that object
and yet nothing's changed

both of us are still
trying to heal from said
long ago wounds.
