--I’VE BEEN TO THE MOVIES AND I KNOW HOW IT ENDS, BUT THE JOKE’S ON THEM


Do You Remember?

We talked of things unspoken,
our eyes doing the hard work,
fingers laboring in the moist
shadows our skins made
after making love. 
You pointed to the window,
to a cloud stamped and
sluggishly bobbing across the glass,
its shape a lion or
deer of some sort,
your eyebrows arched,
asking me to choose,
asking me, “Which, the deer or the lion?”
And so, we began again,
as innocent as the gazelle
nosing and chewing sweet savanna grass
while the lion circled the Acacia tree,
proud but patient, listening for
the final moan, the gazelle’s
last convulsive cry,
signaling the lion’s turn.
