CELLULAR SQUATTING

By Deborah Humphrey

an easy start

booze fun finals

i became we overnight

it lasted too long

you knew better

all night

inhale inject intrude

never silent

my cells were yours

squatting uninvited

screaming fighting exhaustion

it was

an uneasy

ending

the trust in your eyes taunted by a glint of my determination

in a serrated edge

to cut out the we

laying swaddled in a white sheet faint smile of relief

just

i
