come and see
they will say
you did not know me
they will say
you did not love me
they will say
you did not thirst
for the taste of me
they will say i lied
about our youthful encounter
when i lifted my hem
and i let my form shine through
the folds
of a terrible day
40 years i wandered
in your desert
a moment of your beauty
and 40 years of breathlessness
to balance it
40 years of remorse
40 years of disappointment
sleep which gives no rest
caress which does not calm
excitement with no background
arousal from no depth
the shallows of excitement
because it was not you
they will say
you did not know me
they will say
you did not love me
they will say
you did not thirst
for the taste of me
they will say i lied
about our youthful encounter
when i lifted my hem
and i let my form shine through
the folds
of a terrible day
40 years i wandered
in your desert
a moment of your beauty
and 40 years of breathlessness
to balance it
40 years of remorse
40 years of disappointment
sleep which gives no rest
caress which does not calm
excitement with no background
arousal from no depth
the shallows of excitement
because it was not you
