The 15th round
Friday, January 20, 2006 at 03:55PM black and blue
since round 2
leaning on hope
desperation
boxing the fear
and condemnation
the bell sounds
and i struggle to stand
swollen eye
broken hand
i hit the mat
the rabble cheer
dizzy, bleeding, splashed with beer
i crawl to the rope
and reach for Mercy
He enters the ring
He touches my bleeding head
am i dead?
and then turns to the
trembling
mocker
i do not see the fight
but my broken body is bathed in light.
