Valentina Cano

Butchering

She watches her reflection

plastered against the deli display.

The glass flings back ripples of meat,

folds as thrumming pink as her own.

Her neck twists into knots

as she tries to unsee.

Her arms and chicken cuts,

her legs and glazed hams.

Her eyes just fingerprint-pocked glass.
