I let him inside my apartment
It’s all backwash now,
I can see where the bottom is
Looking for his slippers in my garden
To him, I’m a unicorn
and he is a botanist
He needed an hour to himself
to tailor the guilt he felt
when he learned why I cried on the telephone
(how I had to fight someone to keep my body dressed)
I guess he felt violated at the thought of that
so he walked away from me
and left at my loneliest
His family in a coil making bids
on his grandmother’s paintings, post obit
He pleaded like a coward, like a kid
when he seeded the flower that he did.
He was horrified that I delivered,
but I was so desperate to have my baby home
And after all those guys, then why was he denied?
No, he didn’t care for that,
and became a chaperone
What is one degree below a stranger?
I have to remind myself that he’s in a body bag
When I let him inside my apartment,
I got off secretly, I took my body back
