In my dreams we are
Together. We don’t concern
Ourselves with others’
Opinion of what
We do. My husband and your
Boyfriend don’t exist
In my dreams. We fly,
Exhilarated, bodies
Mingled, you and I.
All I ask is that
You just come with me, and we
Try it. Can we try?
Her strength surprises
Me. I am lifted without
A grunt of effort.
My sex is spread and
Pressed tightly against her, as
She wraps my mouth in
Hers. If I was still
Uncertain about what was
Happening, not now.
When the water took
Her, it felt incredible.
Glorious new life.
Just to see how it
Feels. No one needs to know. It
Won’t change us at all.
Millennia did
I watch the Earth, and did not
Find one to fall for.
I bought the pretty
Widow for a song, and then
We got to smooching
She’d never kissed a
Dame before, and so I broke
Her in. Our time was
Sweet, but had to end, because
Her elder sister,
Just as comely, came
Onto the market,
And her bosoms are to die
For, goodbye widow,
Fare thee well, I know
You’ll do me proud, for I send
You to dear Mamma.
I know this is what
I wanted, but there is so
Much to feel at once.
You are my every
Thought, the air I breathe and the
Water that I drink.
Her fly was undone,
And so was I, consumed by
Mystery beneath.
