she places the lit end of her cigarette against...
eyes welling up...

all day she sleeps
but at night she leaps...

good riddance to the man I loved
who left without a care...

she emulated a woman's structure
waist, small...

you gave me roses in bed
and kisses on my head...

the gold mom carried gave bruises
and blisters...

my ice coffee spills with each shake.
this is the fifth time...

a fury from above
I call God's mighty wrath...

the silk it soothes
it flows it moves...

I saw the red flags
the manipulation...

a touch
a kiss...
