dressing

by Angela Thomas

it's like my whole body is full of oil and vinegar.
a feeling I can't reconcile. between sitting on bricks
outside my apartment and laying in bed with your arms
as my solace. she was probably upset when the text popped

up, "I miss you." from your loyal employee, best for the business,
a soldier. you're telling me this and the oil stirs, turbulent,
then your lips are on my forehead and I'm trying not to cry.
I escape to the ladies room and let it out. I need air. I need

to breathe. I'm trapped between an impossible feeling that's
a lot like love and a churning burning knowing that what I'm doing
is wrong. the night passes and I sleep heavy, troubled by images
of your boys on your stomach and your face and how will

this all turn out? I'm mad for you. I'm apeshit fucking crazy
with feelings. I'm breaking all my own rules. for you.
