The Letters

I remember many lovers who

sang sweetly into my fresh ears

I curled up in fetal like ecstasy with

words from women's pink lips escaping up through

the midnight air

Oh, midnight. I remember you best of all.

How you taught me your poetry, the sex of it

the cold hard truth

I would wish you unattached

and I would wish you in my porous hands

but never for too long,

fearful that I might miss the mark of a creeping moment

which is all my life has amounted to
