the other woman


Sex only

I am

Waiting softness

Shoulders sagged trouble

Arms in forgetfulness

Refuge

Quietly speaking

Negligible cost

Time borrowed and stolen

Destructive, decadent, impossible, inevitable

And nights

Lonely

Dreams my own

Life as taken

OTHER

WOMAN

OTHER

Taken as life

Own my dreams

Nights and

Lonely

Inevitable, impossible, decadent, destructive

Stolen and borrowed time

Cost negligible

Quietly speaking

Refuge

Forgetfulness in arms

Trouble sagged shoulders

Softness waiting

Am I

Only sex?
