A Wife
A WIFE
Someone buried my rights on previously set soil
And I woke up with the glass between my teeth
What are you staring at, he wondered surreptitiously
And waved his hand, slowly, before my eyes
Before I bit them off, one by one
And the blood ran down, infecting the air with the dog beneath and behind
I’ll put on the red dress, I said
If you watch me do it.
