| Sample Poetry from WOMAN IN EXILE by Mary Angela Nangini The Edwin Mellen Press 1991 |
| Power Struggle I'll allow you Control me I draw my strings Around you Sink into me Bite deeper You'll have to try A little harder To control again I hold the stakes Take possession Overturn them A game that never ends Scavengers Drawn by the stench Circling over carrion Vulturizing one another Picking each other clean Flesh and bone and marrow We are one cadaver |
| Twins My heart welled with joy His hair head hands His stance His face From the back From the front He was you And different Tears filled my eyes My heart heard the moment Special occasion Unforgettable My whole being embraced him I loved him And I ached all the more Because he wasn't you Your other Twin brother |
| getting even now you're open now you're closed you toy with me undisclosed you're playing a game i'd love to reciprocate with lots of the same i'd like to return the pain i'd like to cause you an emotional migraine i'd like to take the sun and leave you with the rain i'd love to retaliate how i'd gloat to inflict triumphant spiteful hate to hurt and reject to degrade and deject to show you lack of respect i'd love to feel superior i'd like to control you as my inferior i'd enjoy being your tormentor i'd watch you my enemy cringe i'd watch and not even flinch i'd watch and watch......... and as i'd watch before my very eyes i'd see myself chastised my own reflection being cannibalized |
