VISITING THE GRAVE OF THE MAN WHO ABUSED ME in Poetry

Went to your grave to spit on it
but the wind had other plans
Before it could hit its granite target,
it blew the gob back in my face

After all the drinking, razor games,
the parade of motley men,
and the starvation campaigns-
you think by now I’d understand

That any revenge I plot for you
is a poison I take,
In the end, I am only hurting myself,
spitting in my own face.
