by Darren Demaree

Published in Issue No. 227 ~ April, 2016

The days when we ache

only, we need some amusement

we can ignore

 

when we finally decided

to try and have sex

& if either of us

 

ever pick one of them up

before the right now

more than ever, we will hold

 

only the tail of disappointment.
