I Will Name It She

One night She is there, hovering above me.

I will say that She

is in the shape of me.

At night, She floats over me and

I see the hairs growing on her chin,

smell the stench from her mouth.

She really makes me hate me.

What I notice the most is the noise radiating from her pussy.

It somehow sounds like:

•  Somebody Leaving Me in the Middle of the Night

•  Everybody I Care About Dying

•  My Writing Up in Flames

•  The Phrase “Can I Give You Some Feedback?”

She will stand on the bed while You

snore next to me, one arm over your eyes,

like You’re dreaming

about being on the beach where the sun

is so hot, so bright in this lucky way

that you just can’t stand.

You just cannot stand all of your good

luck. Oh, I am so jealous of You sometimes.

We all have holes

and we are all a little

Haunted. When was a time you

felt afraid for no reason and why?

Some people say scary stories

make them feel horny.

It’s that adrenaline.

The knowledge

that the man in

the corner of the room

was really a lamp.

The doll winking at

you was just a trick of the light.

The strangers holding

knives at your throat

were part of a bad dream.

You were just dreaming, nena.
