Tammy
More than any laughter
love seeps around her knees
like broken water
inflated or in despair
she can cry when she pleases
if absent she doesn’t care
it’s not a slaughter
compared to that other disease
a damp smiling river
she stands at the fair
swears she’ll never release
the name of that man
it’s a matter for daughters
to know what they’re leaving
close the door after
get out of that scene.
