Her/Him
I remember your elbow opening my left eye to the stars
with sharp inhale I smell the bourbon
and I swear my heart drops
my grip loosens on the steering wheel
behind me is the misted rear windscreen
rippling drunk skin
the sagging roof fabric above me
I remember nothing
no change to my breathing
but my heart skips a beat with her stupid lie
my hands by my side where they should be
nothing behind me, only ahead
liar liar I did nothing
all that is above anything is me
I remember nothing.
Singh
My dog Singh
forced my father up a tree
She would growl
at the flickers of men
but would let me ride on her back
like a horse.
