fucked me up one side and down the other

She's brushing her teeth
putting makeup on in the car
cause she's been late to
everywhere she ever went.
She drives two hours to visit
a Muslim ex boyfriend 
every weekend. She is not,
but pretends for Ramadan
and Eid. For her eating disorder
and gifts and an ex boyfriend.
not for piety or discipline
  -even if that's the reason she says.

Keep her body, blond & blue eyes
And her children secret for him
Tells me he hardly ever hits anymore
Really, he hasn't spit on her in months
In fact, he's only called her a whore
Not that it's any of my business 
Afterall, I'm just a friend.

Upon meeting her some joke
    Was she named after the hurricane?
But I know,
     The hurricane was named after her.
In a literal, not literary way.

She's so tired. Scared to say no
to one weekend, two days rest &
in the dark does she remember 
what I said when she wakes up
to him on top of her again?
