Spillage

Words wanted to tumble out
from under the mask she wore,
but held them at bay, she did
so as not to be labeled
whore, home wrecker,
troublemaker, and insidious
ungrateful bitch from hell.
They promised to tell
if she ever let them slip.
So she sipped her walls
from a straw of fiction
and held everything in place
while she decayed
from the inside.

Gone

The screen door creaked
like a humpback whale,
beached, and dying.
Early summer sun
serenaded tree tops
in the west,
with faded
rays set to a tune
of lonely lovers.
The slamming pierced
through the silence
and threw heavy shadows
on slumbering bedroom doors.
One would have thought
the walls were empty by morning,
but they weren't.
Only he had gone.

The Tournies

He used to go bowling.
Pressed league jerseys
neatly folded in his man bags
quietly awaited his various journeys.
Had they only known their fate.
 
She would get so hungry
while he was gone.
The freezer of fillets only
lasted so long,
before it was time
for another tournament
that didn’t exactly include him.
 
He used every trick in the book.
“I’ve got some puppies, want to take a look?”
 
Sometimes, it was sugary sweets.
 
“You like pixie sticks? I’ve got a box of them you can eat.”
 
She liked her fillets nice and young.
The fatter the better,
it made for tender chewing.
The lean ones, of course,
made for better stewing.
 
He used to go bowling.
But, he never rented shoes,
and he never ever paid his league dues.
He didn’t have to.
Four states away,
and they never watched the news
while they ate their dinner.
