Ava Longmore
And I remember
The stair from the restroom up
To classroom there
And I climbing desolate and bare
Of meaning for the coming
Manhood to my loins
I remember
How the lights out
Suddenly
And your tongue throbbing
Against the hunger of my mouth
All night I laid on my back
And replay, and replay your kiss again
The way I do today
For there was none before you
And what would become
Of your infidelity
Had death been less faithful
In your mouth too?
