every time
Feb 16, 2024
the cat leaves
small carcasses
on the mat every time
Dave brings me flowers
my son celebrates
being an only child
every time my period
begins to flow
my ex-husband
claims yet another
foot of space every time
he enters my home
death on the doorstep
blood between my legs
territory marked
in the hall
