Selfish

Dangerous mind,

Slinking across marbled

Ground. Leaving behind

Streaks and crumbs of pity.

Pouncing at the right

Perfect moment to spread

Thoughts of grief. A virus.

Dramatic when nothing is.

Pulling anything near into

The rotation of use and toss.

But seen through so easily,

After many chances. Over.

Not this again. It’s done.
