bridal shower
Have you noticed sounds
Get all mixed up when heard
Too long?
Tap tap tap
Too much milk in the icing.
Drip drip drip
And
Pat pat pat
Are
Tap tap tap
Fingernail on my door
Witness, who exposes me
Unholy and unashamed,
Before our guests--
Tap tap tap.
Ah, intrude!
Enter!
Assign blame.
But no one is there.
It’s always been
Drip drip drip
Her body, still.
Her blood, a beat
On my floor.
Only more perfect,
If she was me.
