Prelude

Silently I wait for your proclamation against me, your balled fist at the ready. Hate turns inward, a dull knife stripping flesh from bone or an emaciated mongrel dog gnawing at my remains,  with a listless eye watching for the inevitable onslaught of your next denigration, ready to slink away while dragging my corpse behind it, to wait for the day when I kill you as you lie sleeping.
