stalking you
waiting
under your doorway
trench coat collar
turned
up
wink-wink
of my cigarette
as I inhale
a
hello
exhale it
in your direction
I’m just a drunk, mam
followed you home from the subway
(long legs screaming sex as I trailed)
I wanted to take you,
right there
on the deserted street
Artistic!
but waited
now I’m here
watched your apartment light
blink on
counted the stories – 5th floor
and made my move
took the stairs, 2 at a time
breathless – I picked up your scent
I know that perfume
(you understand, don’t you)
I’m in your hallway
screwdriver
in hand
no need
you’re ready
seems as if
you’re the one who’s waited
standing in the door frame, pink
robe
barely tied
small smile
playing
on your lips
I’m inside
and we tangle, automatically – I NEED YOU
LOVER – for years I’ve sweated, chased you down alleys and through
Hard –
covers
dreamt of you
wetly
with a pen
tonight,
the pen-ultimate moment
for an ideal crime!
(I will strangle you with this affection!)
force
you
to lie down
on this page
and take the shape
in my imagination
