SHARING AT 3:00 PM
She sank beneath and beyond
the blue and the green.
Sweet sheets pulled
tightly overhead.
She waited to be swallowed
into the beds soft belly
where love moaned
and horror
was only a dream scene.
He gulped the news
and carried it like vomit.
Spilling from his lips
vile and sour
staining the sheets.
He gathered her in his arms
Loved moaned
and he cried.
They shared the pain.
