This Monkey, by Ruth

Posted on November 24, 2023November 24, 2023

 

is wearing my ass out.

Through the ivy

‘round the rose bushes

tug o’war

hide ‘n seek

down the steps

head banging

he’s killing me

 

This afternoon I will dismember him

on the rug

where his guts will stick like velcro

making a fool of the broom

 

She won’t stay mad long
