she's in rome

she's in rome now.
she sends me
a postcard
with the smudge of her
lipsticked lips
pressed upon
the stiff card.
on the front is
the ancient coliseum,
quiet now
and full of feral cats.
wish you were
here, the card reads,
forgetting about the lion
she once was
with me in the center ring.
