Seven seconds
Seven seconds to draw a breath
“#metoo has gone too far”
Inhale and count
one
two
three
Heart pounding, rage slipping
Through my fingertips
Visions of his blood drip dripping
How would he look disemboweled
That’d be a good profile pic
four
five
six.
Seven
seconds stretching into years
Dark and riveting! Great use of the prompt.
I love how you draw out the poem like a long, inhaled breath, using the numbers to time it. Fantastic. ❤
