His fists once battered
Fellow boxers
As each tried to knock
The other out
Or damage kidneys
And lungs beyond
Repair and send
Him crashing
To the ground
But sadly now
Without a bout
She’s the one
On whom
He takes it out
Until she cannot scream
No more
Cannot breathe
Cannot feel
Cannot be
No more
And without
A referee
Is down
And out.
