Invisible

Gasp.
Breathe, Jacki, breathe.
Just keep a steady
up-down, up-down
motion in your stomach.

Gasp.
Calm, Jacki, calm.
He could’ve just
entered by accident.
It could just be that.

But
IIIIwhy
IIIIIIIIdoesn’t
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIhe
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIleave?

He just stands
and smirks,
eyes wandering
down-up, up-down.
Like my stomach.

Goosebumps rise
even though hot water
is running down my body;
his stare makes me
shiver.
