A Poem by Amy Craig Beasley

 

electrifying

 

you �" so like Prometheus

 

channeled

 

the force

of fire

 

into my

icy

limbs

 

and shocked

 me

into

existence

 

and left me

 

you

did not

 

even

teach

me

 

how to speak

what to eat

 

spoke of how

you

loathed

me

 

and then

 

you abandoned me

to the extremities

 

 

where I

discovered for myself

what fire was

and how to eat

and how to love

and to need

another

so that

I could be loved

  

 

and I

only ask

 

that you will

create

another

 

so that

I

 

will not be

so all alone

 

what I do desire

 

is that you take

 

that fire

 

and

bring

another life

into

this life

 

but

you

won't

and

so

 

 

I take

my revenge

 

to have you

suffer

to watch

 

why should I be otherwise

when the

whole world

sees

only

 

with

eyes

 

and no heart
