Defined: Abdomine

Defined: Abdomine

A Poem by Trekkie

abdomen n. In mammals, the visceral cavity between the diaphragm and the pelvic floor; the belly.

sword to your throat
gun at your heart
it's all the same in love and war
war and peace
grief and love
the opposite of love
is not hate
it is indifference

hate is akin to love
somehow
but still then
love is akin to hate
twisted; battered; scarred
sword through your abdomen,
sword through your heart
which one hurts more?
which one claims your love?
which one will kill you in the end?
