Sitting on the bathroom floor sobbing

wondering if others

converse with people who are not there

---

To those that have torn their hearts

into tiny pieces

---

the invisible people who were vapor

when their bodies were in the room

---

Irina Dunn coined the phrase

a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle

I repeat that to myself often

---

I wonder how many women howl in the night

missing the touch of a man...
