The cancer rises to the top

The cancer rises to the top
the planning, the insurrection,
a party caught in the web,
beholden to the venom.
 
No escape from the judgment
the karma that is yet coming
history will remember
the days of their plotting.

Co-parenting with her rapist - v3

Her nightmare unending, each word triggering,
his smirk, his facial expressions a dagger,
her constant pain, PTSD, violence remembered,
co-parenting with her rapist.
 
Afraid of the father of her unwanted child,
but bound to him by law, process, procedures,
mandated by the state, the oppressor,
trying to remain the friendly parent.
 
Knowing all too well his manipulation,
the law’s bias, the pushing, being backed into a corner,
seeking only to love, to raise her children
behind her tears, her brave face.
 
Confined within the strictures, the structure, the laws,
forced to be bound at the hip, co-parenting,
with the Beast at the other table,
his anger which she hates.
