She comes in reeking of
country funk and old couches
dirt skimming her fingernails
a tick crawling around in her hair
Forgive me for being irrational
but this is not the way i left her
After i've coaxed her into
vitamins
two tonight, baby
greens for dinner
plenty of cream rinse for her hair
we lie down
She tells me
she loves him
more than me
that she wishes she were dreaming
so she'd wake up back there.
