Tell Us

Photography by Devon Butler

This is what it looks like
poised and perfect
silent
don’t breathe hold your breath

A silent doe bleeds in the ditch
tail still quivering
a mournful tune in white
Mom says this
Dad says this
Porn shows this
“Just lie there until he’s done”
You’re not to like it
You’re not to talk about it

This is supposed to disgust you
this is disgusting
