my head is
wrapped around
a pic of your
tattooed arm,
(that i haven’t
seen
in almost years)
like an alcohol
infused
Corolla wrapped
around a tree.
wrecked, broken,
shattered,
totalled.
now sitting in a
junkyard graveyard,
awaiting
demolition, or
the eventual
erosion of abandonment.

sunset.
The heat ran down
her legs and neck,
Collected in her
hair and on her thighs.
Mosquitoes danced
and teased,
Bit hands and
knees.
He was just like
them,
Buzzing in her
ear.
Her breath so
short and tight with each
Syllable, he
never slowed down.
With her eyes
closed, the sun sank
On her face, as
she would on his, melting.

death rattle.
she is slathered
in profanity pickling a perpetual frown,
that holds all
happiness prisoner.
there was no
light that February day.
hundreds of
voices, circulating, masking
a downtrodden,
lipless grin,
she is stagnant
in her movement,
a slow-motion
free-fall into stasis.
the pine box is
waiting,
its splinters
itching
we cannot dig the
hole fast enough.
her life stutters,
flummoxed
each day; echoes
of
switchblades
flicking, and
snakes hissing in
the mattress
as she plods
along, making eyes at the ceiling
awaiting the
death rattle.

I tire of the
endless email specials I receive in my inbox,
for lingerie I
don’t buy anymore.
Spicy! Sexy!
Remember when I
thought it mattered,
That seductive
things would keep you?
The lace and
snaps should have locked you in place;
secure as my
thigh highs, love tangled like fishnets.
