mounted
I think I remember him
I once played caddie to his dogged
second act fits of doubt
and holding my breath always, I knew
when asked what I was
I’d throw the question back in his face
and when asked what I have between my legs
I’d say, A cut that just doesn’t heal
yes, I used to know him
when my hair was longer
when I made him kill the spiders
that crawled in through the crack by the AC
til he split me in half
and pinned me to his table
to see for himself

Powerful and breath taking.
“played caddie to his dogged/second act fits of doubt” You had me with that metaphor.
very cinematic in visuals… like the scene moments before where the heroine learns she can make fire from thin air.
