The memory is fading, throbbing

the unsteady streets, my steady steps

determined circles

I thought I would want to remember

like a heart-attack victim on a Mediterranean diet

for him and I

our biggest mistake is our genes

and our money (real or imagined)

One punch is not enough

in the darkness it evaporates

it rings hollow

like defeat

One punch is not enough

to rid the filth off his face

to make the ground still

under my vigilant eyes

Safety first, humanity after

that's what it is to be a woman

One punch is not enough

but its a start
