Few Days Late
I keep it to myself
and Loretta. Her father
beats her
in places hidden
to the naked eye,
but I see
when she strips
down to panties,
lays next to me,
her kiss on my blush,
her eek
when my cold toes
pirouette up
her welted leg
a little
too far.
I went
out with this guy
31 days ago,
wanted to feel
something
without talk,
my tongue a head-
stone in his mouth,
he digging for the truth
about me,
and now Loretta knows, feels betrayed like Jesus
in the garden
where friends
wake up
way after
the cock crows.
