Sex In A Friend's House
for M.B.

ended up bare back in the living room

wiped with shirt I stripped off
soiled with semen, our juices

threw it to her to carry, she threw it back
shirt in a ball in a ball a game

not carrying, not owning
what was ours, was both of us
mine or was it hers to carry

where to break exactly
what we picked, what we sliced off

how and what and where
were we to share, an issue usually

things to negotiate
adjustments to make
