Through a
slit in the bathroom blind
I see his
ute in the parking lot.
Black and
shiny,
patient for
Mandy.
He is there
every weekend
black and
shiny,
polished
for Mandy.
And I think
as I towel myself
of the
smile on her face.
Dreamy,
postcoital,
is Mandy.
But on the
bookcase
behind my
pillow -
your shadow.
Remembering
my face perhaps,
the
features blurred yet shining.
Curious,
that.
Was it a
killer’s smile?
Unintended,
consequential,
nonetheless.
nonetheless.
I really like this smoothly quick unfolding event and (curiosity's abrupt ?) unintended, reminder, nonetheless...

Was going to call it Sex and Death but thought that was too straightforward. Glad you like it spooky.
