The Problem
Outside the sky clogs like bruises
I lay in bed and smoke, thinking
you have disappointed me for the last time
I dream I am in bed with a new lover
watching my reflection in his eyes
The way he says my name, like prayer
like scripture
as if he has come into a sacred place
and each touch must preserve even while it plunders
Last night the bed was a nest of nerves and wrong turns
knees bumping out of rhythm
the scraping of teeth
my ring catching your skin
And the red luminous glow of the alarm clock
measuring the long hours of frustration
Then the crack of a beer can opening
and the sound of your ****
splashing across the toilet seat
in the dark
And in that moment I knew
the problem was you
and not
the absence of my *******.
