she laughed,
a snort through her nostrils,
pig like,
embarrassed,
the most beautiful crimson gracing
her skin

my eyes well up,
the crater on my face
commences with his act,
appearance, disappearance

I wish milk would come out of my nose,
I wish to slip on a banana peel
making Curly smile from afar,
anything to ease her ego

by now, I have pushed her away
the love she felt for me
overcome by fear,
by my failure
to show her my entirety,
her lovers have come and gone,
taking bits and pieces of her as they go,
I washed away my pride ages before,
I only want her to know
what she already does,
I am mad about her,
even so
