SECOND ATTEMPT
By Louise Yeiser

I slid off the bed and felt the cold beneath me, so I melted into it,
absorbing it, steady. Rising to my feet, I crept toward the bathroom,
pausing at the door to listen to your breathing. It whistled and scratched
its phlegm into my nerves. The box springs creaked. You were unharmed. I
would try again tomorrow.
