Fear

Your head inclined
your laughter tinkling...
I can feel the heat
across this room
emanating from you
and him
and all my dreams and
fantasies so clear a moment
ago
start to blur around the edges,
and fear like I have never tasted
slips over me.

Fear tastes metallic
like gunmetal
my jealousy seasons with
a bitter sting but loss...
loss is a dish I pray you won't
be offering...
