Betrayed
bitter bitter
he hacks the weeds
sharp blade in the sunlight
swish onto the tall grass,
shovel into the dirt
timing
beats of his heart
shirtless he sweats
into the noon sun
turning the dirt
moving the earth
bitter bitter taste in his mouth
betrayed again
again
hands are steady
heart is strong
except the pain
in the center
in the center.
