Bakersfield stripper
zebra-print tattoo
3/8th through
vet school.
When they call her,
they call her Zathandra
to the stage.
It’s her D&D name,
she whispered to me.
Used to play
with her
little brother
dead
in Iraq now.
Moisturizer skin scent never
quite covers
the Marlboros.
When she bites my
earlobe in the booth,
it isn’t playful.
