The Other Woman

2000

“Wallace and Grommet”
she laughed with her hair,
auburn in the sun.
I can see why people get us confused.
	 (Maybe he was just confused.)

And I can see why this would happen:
beautiful breasts beneath sloping shoulders
knife-sharp waist cut hips
carve into your flesh
(his hands) which mould and mold
and bruise
	-like God’s hands.
Hands that gripped my unshaped
masculine muscular waist 
from behind
while ramming my elbows into the headboard.

I have nothing to say to you.
