Poems
Mar 2010
Single Mother
Never noticed me
Under her pink dye
And thick thighs.
Never noticed me
In others eyes,
In others lies.
Didn’t notice me
Sinking in
And taking name.
A kiss on the neck
And I’m to blame.
Didn’t notice me
Notice her,
The other one
With darker fur.
I feel like a kid again,
The butterflies
In my stomach
And on my face
Give way to
Nails on my neck
And choke
That I can taste.
I drink to
Blue eyes
And costly affairs.
The timid blonde
That broke silence
Now laughs at me
With a stare.
“Smile,” she says.
