Jealousy

Will poetry convey it
beautifully enough
even though
it is still ugly green and destructive?
My eyes absorb
too many facts
a photo
and too much in common
My mind predicts
the upcoming constriction
of my already slow, waning breath
Even though she's new
and different
much safer than me
I read her words
and know your heart

Please don't start
