I seek shelter in her pubis
A nuisance
Infestation
She fingers my carcass
Dry skin sprinkles down on a soiled mattress
Treat the infected area
With a cream-colored salve
Twice, daily
The vacuum hums a song of starting over
I’m swept into the trash
Next to rotten take-out
On top of all the pictures of us
The lid closes
I’m left alone
With my thoughts
And the soothing mew of jawless maggots
