PRESENTATION OUTLINE

K-mART WAY

BY APIRANA TAYLOR

I saw her today
walking through Kmart
with a vacant look
on her old leathered face
just thirty-two

She sat down by the fountain
not knowing why she was there
her kid ran about
all amuck

Her husband beat her
she always takes him back
for a rerun
the bruises have gone down
but they never go

Photo by febbrile

she’s come out
to sit behind the shades in solitude
amid shoppers

promises of freedom
echoed in reflections of her plastic
Kmart sunglasses

the scars of her beatings
almost hidden
beneath her torn skin
