Love Poem #2


Did you kiss her?
  i did kiss her.

Did her skin touch yours?
  our skin did touch.

Were you fed by her?
  i ate of food and breast.

Was her mind given to you?
  i shivered when we met.

Did she call your name?
  i heard my name.

Did you recall a dream?
  i thought in contemplation once.

But did you kiss her?
  our lips brushed.

How did you talk?
  our knowledge was silence.

How did time pass?
  i sat still on the kitchen chair.

She asked for divorce in a bathroom?
  i pissed in a public stall.

Once she was somebody. I was somebody.
  she became somebody else.
