Don't Mind Traversing Alone

              

I wish you would tell me you have a wonderful lover who is of the male disposition

That you think of him even in my company
that his touch leaves you speechless

I wish you would tell me our bond will never stretch beyond platonic
that my suggestions
go beyond your comfort zone

That your fancy doesn't rise to the level of intimacy
that takes two to hot
nights of bodies intertwined

I wish I could discard the tenderness that you share and have the intelligence to compartmentalize my thoughts, and actions

But my too human existence,
my subjective memory
drowns out more concrete tendencies

My folly need not be an albatross
the lust not a perpetual zone for you to steer clear

Just a nudge off a collision course with rejection

Salvation in the power of knowledge...
