He used to be her weekend getaway:
hand-me-down sheets wet
as a rain drenched map,
dandruff napping on pillows,
lights dim, but bright enough
to admire crooked penis and misshapen breasts,
their only directions, unread,
on the back of a condom box.

while he lies alone, old blanket
tacked over his window-
darkness a more familiar destination
than it should be.
