SONG FOR SONYA
here lover
come
let’s undress
this sex between
disarm and expose
native tongue
liquid as air and soliloquy
in curled edges of
punch bag hearts
our sameness thrives
oh that man
that city worker with connections
with pupils warm as black ice
with shoulders big as movie idol
and a shadow that lingers like
the color of a bruise long after pain subsides
yet you withstood
too long
but here
naked as thoughts would allow
we meet on the lam
and your tension collapses
incensed
this adrenaline comes to collect a debt
i want him in soil
it’s not that you should have
worn my sheets as flags
or pretend to recall something we might have held
sonya, you simply are deserving of better
confess
re-liberate
unfurl hands
bring on a new ministry
