I gave you the slip
beneath my dress
and by this act
scrambled your mind
I’ve wrestled the salt
from my hair
and now questions/
of loyalties lie
beckoning
for now
for always
the clock strikes two am
and there’s no one around
but you and your voice in my head
this could be momentous
I will say I’m honor-bound
and hyper focused
I cannot sleep
our bed is not the only question
that’s loaded
it’s never been
