She sits . . .

April 2, 2020lillian

cuticles freshly nipped, filing complete,
pomegranate red lustered.
Fingernails tap on table top
tat-a-tat-tat, tat-a-tat-tat,
waiting for him to call.

I think he better call soon… those fingernails sounds a low like claws.

  And if he doesn’t call soon, she’ll be red with anger.
