Something About to Die.

Jenny wondered
What her husband would say
If could have seen her there
Naked in the hotel room

Waiting for Eddie;
Seen her staring
Out of the window
Thinking of her lover,

What they would do
Once he arrived,
Wanting to feel
His arms around her;

Needing him close,
Wanting him
To pepper her
With kisses on lips,

Neck and anywhere
Else he pleased
To place his lips.
The hotel clerk

Had given her
A funny look;
As if he saw
Through her;

Knew what
She was up to,
What was planned.
She felt free now,

Free of her husband,
Free of her responsibilities,
Free of her sexual starvation.
Something within her clicked

As she viewed the sky;
Something within her
Fell away,
Something cruel

In her icy past
Was about to die.
