Last Session

Joann Spencer

Our last session together is the only time you
did not look at my eyes when you spoke—you
looked at the ground, a trick you learned from me.
My husband is being transferred to Seattle,
you said. I can recommend another therapist locally.
What I hear is Henny Penny crying,
The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
You walk me to the elevator.
I’m clutching my throat.
I think I’ve been exposed to a deadly airborne toxin.
All of my bodily orifices are sealing up.
By the time I reach the parking garage—
I will be a lifeless lump of orange jello.
