And I am…
looking through photos of days gone by
– your women – sharp intake of breath.
A caressing finger
tells me more
than words or deeds.
A hidden agenda
when revealed
shocks absolutely.
You laugh ‘Ha’ and say,
‘We’re talking about
20 years ago!’
OK, yes we are, but
in that moment
– in our time
you experience
pleasure –
that same tingle
you experienced
20 years ago
when your pen*s
responded
to a girl
everyone
lusted after.
And I am
…jealous.
