side
of the highway
subaru wreck exploded
women warm their hands
*
black widow spider
guilt-ridden over dead flies
drinks her own venom
*
no more green money
scrolling venmo transactions
wrote cocaine as rent
*
legs of barbed wire
the prison cell my lover
let you suck his lock
*
square snapchat ruby
and only a brief moment
skin flashes my faces
