BEFORE
bands of fleeing lovers
tumble from your dusty room
to their real lives and relatives
those hours with you dissipated
dispensed with the innocence
of Before
now, you must return unclean
to others who thought they knew you
to things pure and untouched by Life
smiling with the innocence
of Before
