Katrina Kaye

All the men
at the factory
bought her dinner
to congratulate
a job well done.
When she got home,
she promptly threw
it up and dressed
in the clothes he
left behind,
drinking mouthwash
like poison
and listening to the
heater drip. They will
never know all she
sacrificed for their
success.

“Success” is previously published in Rabbits for Luck (2016).
