Just To Say Hi
The smell of sweat in her
Husband's office hovers.
Heavy loneliness making me
Itch.
You love her, but not like you
Did with mom.
A loop of metal looked
Heavier in person.
I can hear your breathing
In the next room.
You told you just wanted
To say hi.
You closed the door
A quiet thud.
Shadows of his work
Dancing on the walls with
Cars driving by
Outside.
Betrayal like a salty residue
Sinking into my skin.
So thick I can taste it.
I didn't expect this kind of
Desert.
Why did you bring me here?
