I was tempted
but I resisted
it was easy
when I had no desire
when I had no need
when I had no hunger
I said, “No”
before I met you

I WANT A GOOD SAMARITAN GOVERNMENT

Home’s Moving
I can’t go home, not yet.
Home is still moving,
When it stops, maybe I’ll rejoin it.
But this moment is real;
I can feel your lips,
and join you with
such easy passion.
I know the heat, the
weight, the wetness of you
In the dark,
or pressed against me
at a dock, oblivious
to jealous eyes,
saying a goodbye,
wordlessly telling
me what feels right.
Sensing it would not last.
My separateness
melts in the natural
grace of you.
