One Door Closes
By Lisa Nielsen
Response
Parched tobacco shreds crumble in my little fingers as I rummage through handbags, carefully translating loose change into future candy
I feel around in the dark. I know this closet well. The clothes layered with Chanel No. 5, the heels high, the pocketbooks bruised and cracked
The only lullaby is a man calling her name. I will fall asleep on this leathery pile before they are done.
