brute

the smile was only a curtain

fallen on the marriage night

hidden rape of my body and my dowry followed

in the faraway lonely cottage

of the hamlet Cleverness.

trophy empty of tears spent transported

to his fishing boat the next day

the world to see his newest slave

doing all the dirty for the angling

from the boat now fish-blood

sailing on the lake

Loch Ness

near Inverness

he needed not to know to swim

roared his crimson brute when falling

in the calm cold of eternal water

when my kitchen knowledge knife

freed his deathly grabby of the boat from deep

out of Loch Ness

not far

from Cleverness

my honeymoon there started

in the Cleverness

my honeymoon there ended

in the deep Loch Ness
