A story of a whipping boy. He’s a best friend of mine.

Open raw backs from

lashings

Where the heated blood surfaced

and his shirt clings to his back

Secrets are kept in the basement

The snap stung worse

Than a bee sting

And hissed more than a serpeant’s tongue

Deafening the ear drums

Screams of agony and muffled cries

Concealed the hidden

And awful

Truth’s lye
