artful words about life

Torn

Next to me in bed,
she slugs down a gulp of water
followed by chewing ice.

The sound is so off-putting to my senses
that I fantasize that she is instead
crunching glass between her teeth.

Her mouth and face looking like
her vagina on the worst day of menstruation
and not a tampon in sight.

Sometimes I love this person.
