hug
in your old, old nightgown i cause you to flinch and turn away
i'm screaming now
moments ago i was pleading
as if for my life
because the neighbors will hear
fuck the neighbors
i'm tired of listening
to your shrill cries
of bloody murder
and voodoo
upon wrinkles and
twinkles that make me
smile and shrivel inside
with grief and woe
for what is to come.
please relax and go to bed
before all three of us
have heart attacks
then i wouldn't
cry for any of us.
