I
was leafing through the aisles,
hoping to meet someone new,
whose sweet, crisp words would linger.
I thought I'd found someone, you bastard,
till you snuck in a peek
of incest just at the end there.
Your eyes gleamed with laughter.
I
was fully smitten
until you hacked that animal
to pieces. My ears deafened
with its harrowing song.
I held the book at the edges,
careful not to smear my hands.
