This thing that you saw;
That you heard me say;
That I did;
It’s not me.
I know it’s not me.

Not in the way that we wanted
We had a tonight
That we remember with smiles
You promised a tomorrow
One that you would not hold
For you wanted me to love you
But not in the way that I wanted
Relief
The top flew off and
the champagne poured out with pleasure;
There was an ease afterwards;
I could now sip my tea inside peace
with a calmness that lived within;
The smell of green and
freshness after the rains.

To give birth a virgin
It was in the life of Mary
To give birth a virgin
Mother of Jesus
How was that not impossible
Questions to answers we may never fully know
That her hymen was not pierced
Not first by the phallus of a man
When she conceived her child
Relating orally
Petting to keep in virginity
Not the problem of a man
As it slipped through the crack
Artificially inseminated
She lost her virginity
Delivered of a baby
Happening in the loo
Sitting on the loo
getting refreshed,
when the start of them —
the words —
taking shape in my mind,
came to me.
Memories
He never seems to leave her
because she lives inside;
the pleasant and the hard
and all the shades between.
Touch me,
move me,
hamper me,
heal me;
complicit in where I am today—
where I am tomorrow
if I’ll let.
To choose because of you;
to choose despite you;
you appear as you will
something to relish or leave.
Love.
Experience.
People.
Choices.
Living.
Memories.
Our sun shines bright on her
Half-moon over my head
Our sun shines bright on her
You light our night for the while you stand high
Standing brighter than the star so far
Directions from life
Some things want to set we right;
Others, to leave we bereft.
But life,
Which direction is well?
