You'Re Not Going To Forget Me

Even when you've chosen her
and her belly is as round
as a distant moon,
you will ache remembering my lips,
and our familiar tango of tongues.
You will reach out for me again,
your hands like empty cups
searching for moisture
to drown out
the thirst
of me.

I actually have a poem with a line that says, "I am a daughter of the moon". Your screen name made me think of it. Maybe I will post it soon!
