her

by Guy Tetro

moved like sheets

electrified fabric

sexual animal

with puppydog smiles

she tore apart

all the others

i stay away

from puppydog fangs

yet she smiles

that smile

and warms me

inside

inside

inside this coffin

i live in

do i dare

approach her

do i dare

how dare i

will she tear me apart

with those puppydog fangs

will she eat me alive

like spiders do

am i even alive

without her
