I Was Left With One Boot
It happened
better than anything I expected
or imagined -
your hand
slipped
down
and I lost
my breath
and didn't
want it back;
you found it
and took it
and played with it
(and me)
like you could read
my mind,
learn every line,
and recite it in fire
with your left hand.
You took some part of me.
Keep it.
I don't want it.
I just
want
you.
