And … with pure, sweet oil
[for a queen] …
you anointed …
and on soft beds
… delicate …
you quenched your desire.
Not any …
no holy site …
we left uncovered,
no grove … dance
… sound
“i don’t know my father,” a poem by yours truly because it’s been boiling inside for too long & I had to let it out & this was the quickest medium.
When I realized I loved you
it was not romantic
Not flush with pink roses & wine
but rather normal
Rather standing in line at CVS
clutching a four pack of peanut butter cups
& cold medicine
It was a quiet realization
Like checking the weather I was currently standing in
“Huh. It’s a bit warmer
than I would have guessed.”
