She-devil
Horoscopes torn out, read,
shared, but not with me.
Separate lives, serrated nights.
I'm in a tunnel, running,
the train surely coming —
not your breasts, not you.
I inhale fear, chest wide open,
heart cut half out, you,
the ripper. Or, so I feel.
Destined to lick sooty walls
re-painted black, I cannot
eat myself, puke life back.
Tonight, without light,
I lie flat on bleak track.
