She Always Hears Sirens by Ryan Quinn Flanagan

A single
wave of the wand
and she believes
in magic

after too much to drink
and not enough natural

The water
from the bathroom sink

That idiot firehouse just a street away.

So she always hears sirens.
Even in her sleep.

Wants to get off and only needs
your lazy roaming fingers
to do the deed.
