she looks tormented and monstrous
at the side of the photo, she sits screaming
her face is stout but stretched long with a sudden
opening of her mouth, an unnatural smile
(this photo is soundless)
her eyes are glaring in triangles of happiness
or rage
or today, they are the same thing, at the bar,
she screams for a drink of what he has
whatever he has in that cup that has made him
sitting next to her
so calm and still
but he's not that
and if she bothered to look at him she would see
his mouth's corner lifted into an uncomfortable spot
on his dull face a look of dismay and annoyance
this lady
she needs to sit down
and breathe.
