Gall-soap soak

For The Up Escalator Unofficial Challenge

By Cristal S.Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

crimson stain

spreads on her shirtfront

grows drip by drip

fueled by the slit in her lip

she’s got a washer, she’s got hands

gall-soap soak turns it bright white again

What soap would wash the abuser’s stain off his back?
