They dragged her by the heels
to the furthest corner of the beach
their hands were dirty
their glances furtive
they left her for dead
they walked away
they thought they had raped her
They didn't know that she
was raped aeons before
She was raped the day
they said rape
takes
four to see
any fewer see only sex
She was raped again
the day they said
if it's her husband
it's not rape
She was raped again
when they said
she only saw a crime
if someone else
saw it too
They left her for dead
but she lived.
She lived
because
finally
someone had raped her.
And finally she could scream
to the furthest corner of the beach
their hands were dirty
their glances furtive
they left her for dead
they walked away
they thought they had raped her
They didn't know that she
was raped aeons before
She was raped the day
they said rape
four to see
any fewer see only sex
She was raped again
the day they said
if it's her husband
it's not rape
She was raped again
when they said
she only saw a crime
if someone else
saw it too
They left her for dead
but she lived.
She lived
because
finally
someone had raped her.
And finally she could scream
