Natalie H.

by Terry Olynik

Natalie tries
But
She can't lay low.
Her
Softest kiss
Draws
Screaming blood.
Her
Best intentions
End
In sirens
And
Trembling midnight phone calls.
She
Is a feral cat.
She
Is an unreachable itch.
She
Is eternally contagious.
She
Is a hellbender.

Wild cat, one might say. I like this.
