She fools you
like a euphoric
mist traveling across
blurred lines.
She loses control
like a rock tossed
at a glasshouse,
shattering reflections
to embers of shadows,
concelaing the person
I used to be when
I used to be me.
She loves me
like a woman
of the night
loves the men
who pay for her time.
She forgives me
with two insults
to the chest
and one to the head.
