The moon, like you, is far away from me, but it’s our sole momento:
if you look and recall our past through it, we can be one mind.

Secret Thots for a Very Private Gentleman
tales, temptation, and titillation…
I am only responsible for my own heart,
you offered yours up for the smashing my darling.
Only a fool would give out such a vital organ.
– Anaïs Nin –
elsewhere
later
under cover
breast against your ribs
still warm
ripe
she enters our room
on windless calm
the fertile earth
and spreading plain
of her promised land
whispers
(and how the lyre plucks)
across continents and over seas
lapping
lapping
lapping
waves of heart’s content
bound tight ’round her mast
sail on
a wiser man
and leave me sleep
