What Happened

I have bruises

on arms

hips

from being pulled into bed

with the words

“baby, I’ve been waiting for this.”

Bruises

from being pressed, pulled.

They’re forming slowly,

pooling while he snores,

while the coyotes outside

talk to each other about

what they saw

through the window.

I howled to them,

but they couldn’t help me.
