Time I Wed
for S.B.

reluctant to lie down with myself
like two men in bed
I want a woman to come between us
to get between us
come push us apart

See-Line Woman

Simone's a moan, moans in bed
neighbors able to measure joy
with a gage
girl I'm engaged to marry
when evening falls
when the lights are out
kicks, shouts
