She’s a Witch

I’m more careful

exercising my craft.

Go casually to the bathroom after each meal.

Run the water, do my business

brush my teeth,

the smell of my breath a constant concern,

wipe away every damning droplet of evidence,

heartbeat chasing my actions.

Mr. Undercover is amazing, but

Not for nothin’ . . .

I can’t handle the steady dread

of getting busted.
