DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE Poem: Christian Bride, by Anthony Livia

She says I’m just her favorite little worm,
In the black soil we push and squirm,
Her shadow towers over us enveloping me as the shine feigns off her smile,
In the tar and mud I’m clawing away the soaking vultures,
Her violent giggle pierces as she stomps my spine,
The walls watch as I throw my arm, crack my fist, and bust the lip,
I become her muddied carpet,
Drag the hell on the sickly sinner,
She’s caught me in nylon fishing net,
Pluck every razor and serve them cold,
Cut my throat to let the insects in,
Coil all the snakes to clean your hair,
Cut my lips to give my cherry toothy grin,
Coil all the centipedes to strip us bare,
I am your darkest heart,
I am your crimson side,
I am your deepest part,
I am your christian bride.
