One Way to End an Affair

Post by 68degrees »

The woman hears his voice,
cannot see his mouth move

her mind has him
surrounded, between them
they share a cigarette

Woman sees alone in his eyes,
watches him kiss her
on the mouth

Woman hears his voice,
sees his mouth move, watches
“I should be going now” going

feels herself being born
much too late for this shit

as the door closes and clicks.

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
