Twenty-One Ways of Leaving:

[…]

19. The womxn in their thirties.

The womxn with wrinkles at the edges of their eyes.

The womxn who spell lonely with ambition.

The womxn in their thirties.

The womxn who do not bring up your age at the dinner table.

The womxn who bring up your accolades at the dinner table.

The womxn who make love to you

and introduce you at the dinner table

like they have not been intimate with your sheets.

Oh honey, run.

No.

The other way.
