I drove by your house today,
I don't know why I did that,
I'm a sane woman, no really I am,
Yes I am, and yes, I did that

Nervousness electrifying, hair stood on end,
I remember another kind of electricity, a carnal flushed red,

Don't know what I hoped would happen,
Don't know if I wanted to catch sight of you,
Don't know if I wanted to be caught out instead,

Some excuse perhaps, to defend,
What you mean to me, what you meant,
What you will mean, when it's the end,
To scream and shout and un-relent,
To have a name for what we are,
To declare war, to uncleave the scars,
Or perhaps just to catch a glimpse,
Of pictures in the flesh, of the life behind the lens,

As is was, it was all for nothing,
No catching or getting caught,
No glimpsing, no screaming bouts,
A circuitous route to come up bare,
No one knew, not one cared,

I won't drive by your house again


Oxymoron

Loving you to soaking wet pillows and wanting nothing to do with you by the light of day.

May be you'll never know,
Why I need that something more.

No. Love is not enough.

Saying you love me behind closed doors.
Is not enough.
Saying you're here when I'm always alone.
Is not enough.
Telling me you care and making me wait.
Is not enough.
Asking me to fight and forsake and forbear.
Whist you hide and hold on and huddle up.
Is not enough.

I have outlived your closed doors.
I have outgrown your bedroom walls.
I have outcried your flailing claims.

I have a name that exists beyond your whispers,
I have a strength that needs to be met with strength,
I am not the choice you should shudder to a make.

Not now. Not after so long. Not this way.

No.

More.

Mmmmmmm

Open-wide

Legs
Mouth
Fingers
Eyes

Sigh...
Can't remember why
I ever needed a guy
