rescue comes out of her mouth
several times
as she adjusts the halo
on her golden
head of hair.
she rescues
dogs,
she rescues cats.
she rescues friends,
boyfriends.
she's saving the world
one mutt,
one stray animal
at a time.
i like to help others,
she says.
it's who i am.
it's what i do.
maybe, if you let me,
i can also
rescue you.
no thanks, i tell her,
staring at
the bite marks
on her arms
and legs.
