Four minutes out and all was well
Four minutes before I
ran out the door
chasing other dick
I was on your lap
listening to the way
my full name
rolled off your
southern lips
Three minutes before
I ran out the door
I said I wondered
what your neck
tasted like
and you said
"your pussy"
you called me a
twin flame
as we wrapped
around each other
like skin grafts
and later ....
I pulled
my torn stockings
from the floor
next to your bed
and left so quickly
the cats didn't stir
and five minutes
after I left
I wondered
why it wasn't enough
a week later
you told me to stop
apologizing
but I couldn't
because
there was a quiet moment,
a pulse check
in a strange microcosm,
where my nipples tightened
thinking about the way
your neck tasted
like
me
(exhale)
and after all this time
I still wonder
why it wasn't
enough
ran out the door

my full name
