6.
Love is a married man.
He is strong and lean; he’s a tree.
He carries his son on his shoulders.
Love is a tunnel of laughter.We lie together, chastely.
The bed is on fire. When I send
him away, we kiss forever.
I send him away, though my skinis sloughing, my bones are cracking,
little fractures, one by one. When
he leaves, the walls fall down.
I sleep in the burning wreckage.
This is part of a series I’m working on.
From the Poetry Thursday site:
