Loose Ends
All night long, sleepless,
you promised not to cry
to drive downtown
to the family lawyer
and tie up loose ends
suddenly, you sense his presence
so intensely in the car
on the driver’s seat
he used to call his kingdom
you feel as if sitting on top of him
his erection deep inside you
like when you saddled him
back then, in the secluded
Horseshoe Bay Park road and
you pull the car to the shoulder
rapid heartbeat overtakes you
a sweet elation runs through
your spine down to your torso
conspicuously moving
forward and backward
