Riff On Dr. Aggarwal's 'The Battered Wife.' Poem by David McLansky

Riff On Dr. Aggarwal's 'The Battered Wife.'



The pretty girl
With the battered face
Who swept the empty halls;
Her head bent low
In her disgrace
As she heard
My sharp footfalls;
When love can ball
And form a fist
And smash those fragile cheeks,
What love’s so weak
What heart’s so frail,
To bruise that skin so pale.
