I have your picture
or a picture of someone like you
on my bathroom wall,
next to a letter I got from a man,
an ugly, pinch faced man;
a man who SWORE he loved me.
things don't change much
and you're not so different, I think
as I rinse the spit out of the sink,
a little blood goes with it.
and the fingernail
marks on the tile...
yes, they are mine.
