Please don’t knock on my door [NF 3:4] – Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

you’re not welcome
there are plenty of “eyes like bullets” in the world
my rudeness is nothing new

please don’t knock on my poem
it’s deaf
dumb to the cries
it’s by a monster’s side
baring its fangs
biting off the cap of a beer bottle

stay away from my daughter
enough is enough
my poetry’s tossed across this life
a mere point of my sanctified sanity
