He is working tonight. He works
every night, has done for some time,
a new job, the details escape me. I
am not too good with details, you know.
He tells me so.
I think he likes it. He comes home
tired, but so excited. Most nights,
he smells of soap. His fingernails are
always clean. He cares how he looks
for me. All for me.
If I had to guess? Well, I'd suggest
an abbatoir, perhaps. It's physical,
he says, and sometimes things
don't go as planned. He's tough,
my man.
And just last night, I saw a bit
of something on his shoe. A shine
that looked like blood. A bit of skin.
I didn't ask. I don't. He doesn't tell,
just loves me well.

It could be worse
