startle

by Angela Thomas

okay, that's it. i'm going crazy. every range rover
i see is hers, i have to stop to make sure that the plate
isn't those familiar five letters and numbers. every
time my phone rings, i startle off guard and my heart

skips one of its beats. tonight, my good friend ernest
wanted to get back in touch, so he texted me. i must
be nuts, because i imagined that maybe it was her trying
to find out something that i knew by pretending

to be my friend. i keep hearing her voice, words
echoing leave him alone. what don't you understand
about that, you cunt.
I would want to tell the woman
my husband fell in love with the same thing. she promised

not to stop. she promised to keep coming and coming
and so far, she has been able to keep her word.
