Two Words
Poetry by Rowan Evans
I’ve never felt like this before—
never felt this loss of control.
Two words
and I can’t stop it.
Two words
and I just speak.
That’s all it takes for me.
I get a thought,
I hint at the thought—
Say it, she said.
So I said it.
I didn’t want to.
She didn’t make me.
She just asks
and I fold.
