Betrayal

 







 


Betrayal

 

There’s an intimacy in blood:

A map of his heart upon the wall,

The shape of a country

She’d thought she’d fully explored,

But now the borders were closed,

For good.

 

She envied the mosquito

That last touch of his skin,

That kiss, the taste of him.

 

The betrayal, the fall from grace;

With death, like a slap in the face.
