12

when it happened
i was twelve
the fist came quick
and sent me over
the kitchen chair

for spilling juice 
on a friend
he might have to pay 
for a new shirt 
for the kid

his eyes were
dangerous and
bloodshot and drunk

he grabbed me by 
my hair and dragged
me through the house
into my bedroom
and threw me against 
the wall

it was my sister's
fourth birthday party
i celebrated his hate
