The Rug

The Rug

Rolling on the floor, the carpet tingles.
     My Ribs, Oh my Ribs:
           He tickles me and I laugh and laugh and laugh

Crouched over my chest his hair scratches
     My Ribs, Oh my Ribs!        
          Knees at my ears and I try to laugh.

My lips are closed. Smooth skin upon them.
     My Ribs, Oh my Ribs?
         Pushing against my teeth and I can't laugh.

Choking me. Filling my mouth. I Gag.
     My Ribs? No. Not my ribs.
         Sticky wet slime and tears.
               OH MY GOD!
                    I can't believe I laughed.
