Valentines’ poem

Scary Boots

You weren’t the first. (Of all the naked bodies that I have laid in this room, you were maybe the fifth, I think... certainly the fifth complete one, cos #48593/1 had major bits missing even before i took him out drinking with me. ellipsis. Back to you.)

You came to me on Valentine’s - I knew You were Special then. The tag around your toe said ‘STD’; I suspected bitter calumny.

We share a union greater than many, Though others mock us, you will always be, Forever mine; each vein and artery. My dear, you wait, so cold outside, yet inside, your ripe and valvy heart awaits. Forever mine; whenever I smell formaldehyde; I Think Of You.
